Yes, each cell interferes with the next, that is call co-channel interference.
That is a major factor that limits the capacity of a cellular network.
There are a number of approaches used to manage that, carriers spend a lot of money and employ many engineers designing around that.
SON (Self Optimizing Network) is the latest tech that is being deployed on 4G and 5G to help combat that.
BTW, this is one of the reasons you can get much higher tputs with mm-wave because the beams do not propagate very far which makes keeping co-chan down, that's the good news, the bad news is it doesn't propagate well, which means you need way more nodes.
