cáncer: El plural de "cáncer" es "cánceres", por lo que es inadecuado dejarlo invariable. [...] Cuando esta voz forma el plural [...] se siguen las normas generales de las palabras llanas o agudas acabadas en erre, a las que se añade la terminación -es, como en los mártires, los cráteres o los líderes. Solo las esdrújulas, como los mánager, permanecen sin cambios. 4, record 1, Spanish, - c%C3%A1ncer
