Most likely not, cancer doesn't effect horses like it does people.
They can live very healthy lives with it, depending on the type anyway.
But yours isn't too much to worry about.
I had a 5 year old pony with cancer over his eye.
It would flare up some days and other be barely noticeable.
Just make sure to put sunscreen on your horses face wear ever the cancer or any other pink skin is.
That will help prevent sunburns that could cause more cancer.

They can remove part of the eye lid if needed and cimetidine can be prescribed. Cimetidine (Tagamet) is an over-the-counter, acid-blocking drug originally developed to treat heartburn, upset stomach, ulcers, and acid reflux.Cimetidine works several ways - preventing immune suppression caused by tumor secretion of histamine, halting cancer growth, promoting cancer cell death, and can prevent metastasis which is when the cancer spreads via the blood to other organs. It can be highly effective for treating melanomas in horses.

This may be a Benign Surface Tumor. It called "Sarcoids" (Blood Warts), I really not sure as I can not see. This does not spread to other parts of the body, but, it may be bad in the area they appear. Also they can reoccur after surgery to remove within about 6 months. I would suggest you have a Vet look to be sure and go from there as to what you should do.

Try to get it taken care of before it does spread. I know people who have their eye lids and nose done for cancer. It probably will be okay if it doesn't go too far.

ask your vet he/she will know more than anyone here can tell you.
