Case description

Scirrhous tumors metastasize early, grow quickly, and spread over the peritoneum. Prognosis is poor. tumor cells are in the submucosa and are separated by abundant connective tissue. It can be difficult to diagnosis with UGI or endoscopy. The prognosis of patients with scirrhous gastric cancer (SGC) is extremely poor. However, recent advances in therapeutic strategies against SGC, using effective anticancer drugs, have prolonged the survival of patients with SGC.
