Cancer can develop anywhere in the body as far as I'm aware. Its a cellular mutation resulting in rapid and uncontrollable (by the body) cellular growth. The mutation itself may not necessarily be harmful compared to the rapid spread.
Cancer is typically described by the primary organ affected rather than the part of the body affected. So if you had cancer in the finger, it would be skin or bone cancer.
