From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Cancer \Can"cer\, n. [L. cancer, cancri, crab, ulcer, a sign of
      the zodiac; akin to Gr. karki`nos, Skr. karka[tsdot]a crab,
      and prob. Skr. karkara hard, the crab being named from its
      hard shell. Cf. {Canner}, {Chancre}.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) A genus of decapod Crustacea, including some of
            the most common shore crabs of Europe and North America,
            as the rock crab, Jonah crab, etc. See {Crab}.
  
      2. (Astron.)
            (a) The fourth of the twelve signs of the zodiac. The
                  first point is the northern limit of the sun's course
                  in summer; hence, the sign of the summer solstice. See
                  {Tropic}.
            (b) A northern constellation between Gemini and Leo.
  
      3. (Med.) Formerly, any malignant growth, esp. one attended
            with great pain and ulceration, with cachexia and
            progressive emaciation. It was so called, perhaps, from
            the great veins which surround it, compared by the
            ancients to the claws of a crab. The term is now
            restricted to such a growth made up of aggregations of
            epithelial cells, either without support or embedded in
            the meshes of a trabecular framework.
  
      Note: Four kinds of cancers are recognized: (1) {Epithelial
               cancer, or Epithelioma}, in which there is no
               trabecular framework. See {Epithelioma}. (2) {Scirrhous
               cancer, or Hard cancer}, in which the framework
               predominates, and the tumor is of hard consistence and
               slow growth. (3) {Encephaloid, Medullary, [or] Soft
               cancer}, in which the cellular element predominates,
               and the tumor is soft, grows rapidy, and often
               ulcerates. (4) {Colloid cancer}, in which the cancerous
               structure becomes gelatinous. The last three varieties
               are also called {carcinoma}.
  
      {Cancer cells}, cells once believed to be peculiar to
            cancers, but now know to be epithelial cells differing in
            no respect from those found elsewhere in the body, and
            distinguished only by peculiarity of location and
            grouping.
  
      {Cancer root} (Bot.), the name of several low plants, mostly
            parasitic on roots, as the beech drops, the squawroot,
            etc.
  
      {Tropic of Cancer}. See {Tropic}.
