1866 Dunglison's Med. Lex. (rev. ed.) 309/1 The principal diatheses, mentioned by authors, are the cancerous, (cancerism,) scrofulous, (scrofulism,) scorbutic, rheumatic, gouty, (podagrism,) and calculous.

1939 Trans. Illinois State Acad. Sci. Dec. 223/1 Mammary tissue in mice bearing a 'latent cancerism' seems more susceptible to stimulation by ovarian endocrines than normal mammary tissue.

1957 Jrnl. National Cancer Inst. 19 819 Many regard ‘cancerism’ as a single property, a new somatic gene, or a ‘rogue’ enzyme that is added to the cell and confers upon it its attributes of uncontrolled growth, invasiveness, and metastasizability all in one.
