Cancer as a young Marine.
Cancer is a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair, sunglasses, and is often seen with a cigar in his mouth. He has a scar running straight down from his left eye. His hair has been shown to be blonde in the anime, but it has been shown in a variety of colors, ranging from blonde to gray, in the digitally colored manga.

In the anime, during the Marineford Arc, Cancer was shown with black hair, although the manga itself shows that his hair is light-colored.

As a Marine, Cancer strongly believes in Justice, though whether he believes in moral justice or absolute justice is not known yet.
Cancer was shocked to see the Whitebeard Pirates' paddle ship surface after it was hidden under the bay at Marineford.[4]

As a vice admiral, Cancer has authority over lower-ranking subordinates. His physical abilities are unknown.
