Cancer cells replicate/grow very rapidly. The simile "Silence like a cancer grows" from the Simon and Garfunkel song The Sound of Silence is used to indicate a rapidly growing silence, and also gives a visual image of a swelling and malignant or harmful silence. (A simile such as " silence like a balloon grows" would have a positive imagery.)
