Histonic cancer
Would this term be understood by English-speaking medical professionals?
Google shows only 53 hits, and all are from Japanese or Chinese sites.

Translated literally from Japanese, it would be something like "tissue-type cancer" or "organ-type cancer".
Perhaps you are referring to histological types of cancer. See: http://www.crs-src.ca/page.aspx?pid=1765
