Best Answer

The words pandemic and epidemic refer to Infectious Diseases and their spread, and cancer is not considered an infectious disease in that respect. Sometimes a localized outbreak of a specific type of cancer that is unusually high and might mark an environmental hazard, may be called a "cancer outbreak in epidemic proportions" in a headline, as a descriptive phrase, but cancer is usually not referred to in that context.
