Because of its cellular structure. The egyptians noticed that the disease was the shape of a crab.
The astrological sign for 'cancer' is a crab, so they named this crab shaped disease after it.

Because the word cancer has two different meanings. Canker is totally different and has no relation to the word cancer.

No realtion it's just the same name. The name derives from Latin, meaning literally, the crab. The ruler of the fourth sign of the zodiac is the Moon, the Crab, its symbol. The glyph has varied interpretations.

I always think cancer the sign is a disease.."i'm an Aries"..."well i'm a Cancer" see what i mean?

I don't know, but if you ask me they are similar lol. Dealing with the cancer's I know can be like having cancer ( the disease) in your a**

I had no idea but Lisa H is well clever! good question.
