Plural of carcinogenesis; multiple processes or instances of cancer formation or development in the body.
From 'carcino-' (cancer) plus '-genesis' (origin or creation). The plural form indicates multiple cancerous processes happening simultaneously or at different times.
Different cancers can develop through completely different carcinogeneses—skin cancer might start from UV damage while lung cancer starts from smoking, even though both create malignant tumors.
