I assume that you were employed when they made the 70% rating? Otherwise they would have considered you for TDIU and probably enclosed the 21-8940 form with the older decision.

If the cancer is claimed and also is  a SC disability, the rating might put you at 100% or warrant TDIU,if you are unemployed.

Not enough info here to really guess.....

You seem to be asking if the cancer alone would give you 100%.......

Please check out our VA Schedule of Ratings link here.on the forum page....go down about halfway to where you will find how they rate cancer....and the ratings depend on the type of cancer and the residuals of it.

And of course if it can be service connected.

No.  "Cancer" in itself is insufficient to warrant TDIU.  There are many types of cancer that would enable you to continue working, such as prostate cancer, skin cancer, to name a few.  "Cancer" is like a gun shot wound..its not necessarily fatal, and depends entirely on where the bullet hits.  

The criteria for TDIU is you need a doctor to state, "The Veteran is unable to maintain SGE due to SC conditions."  

Of course, there are cancers that would render one unemployable, but that would be a judgement call made by your doctor as to whether or not your cancer renders you unemployable.
