Google is your friend - if you ask a thousand people 997 will say a pandemic is caused by a contagious disease - the key word below is "spread" - things like cancers and CVD aren't "spread" by human interactions, and they're also very slow to develop, unlike viruses such as COVID and Ebola, which can kill you in a few days if you're vulnerable.

An epidemic is a disease that affects a large number of people within a community, population, or region. A pandemic is an epidemic that has spread to multiple countries or continents across the world
