There are only a limited number of ways to get a cooling system to over pressure; over heating is the obvious one, but a combustion pressure leak into the cooling system is also a reality.

To use your cancer analogy, it is time to stop speculation and start diagnostics. A leak down will show if one or more cylinders are losing gas pressure, the presence of combustion by products in the cooling system would also be a dead give away. If neither of these check out positive, you will have eliminated a major probability and can move on to look at the cooling system itself.

But you have to start someplace.............
