French term

carcinologique

French to English Medical Medical: Instruments radiosurgery
Here is the term in one of its contexts in this document:

...il est établi que les lésions sont irréversibles mais la thérapie n’est efficace que si la zone de destruction est correctement ciblée sur la tumeur avec des marges de sécurité ***carcinologiques***...

Would this be 'malignant' or 'cancer(ous' or just 'treatment' safety margins?
