The short answer is “diagnoses.”
The plural of diagnosis
The plural form of “diagnosis” is “diagnoses,” not “diagnosises”. The difference between the two noun forms is the number of instances or findings of diagnoses; in other words, multiple problems are identified. Here are examples of the word properly used.
- Early cancer diagnosis can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
- His medical records show multiple cancer diagnoses over the last two years.
Irregular Pluralization
