Yes, i guess that would generally make sense, since the type of a
cancer is defined not by who the patient is but rather by what the
abnormal part of the patient's body is (e.g. if the lung, it's lung
cancer).

Is it the same for the x3 of "vidru":
 x1 is a virus of species/breed/defining property x2 capable of
infecting [at] x3
Can i say "mi te vidru fi ti" to mean "I'm susceptible to this virus",
or should the x3 be the organ/part of my body for which i would have
to use "jai" to place "mi"?
