What is "scirrhous carcinoma"?

Scirrhous carcinoma, also known as scirrhous adenocarcinoma, is a type of cancer that mainly affects glandular tissues, which are specialized tissues responsible for producing and discharging various substances in the body. It is characterized by its dense, hard, and tough nature, and often develops in organs such as the breast, stomach, or colon, but can occur elsewhere in the body as well. Scirrhous carcinoma is a form of cancer that tends to spread quickly to nearby tissues and organs. Symptoms may vary depending on the affected organ but can include pain, swelling, changes in bowel habits, or abnormalities in breast tissue. Treatment options for scirrhous carcinoma typically involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy, depending on the location and stage of the cancer. Early detection and immediate treatment are essential for improving outcomes and reducing the risk of complications.
