What type of cancer is carcinomatosis?

Carcinomatosis isn’t a type of cancer. It’s a rare condition that means cancer in one part of your body has spread, blanketing another part of your body with several new tumors. Sometimes, carcinomatosis (car-see-no-MA-toe-sis) is the first indication you have cancer. But carcinomatosis usually happens when you’ve been dealing with cancer for some time. Unfortunately, carcinomatosis is a sign your cancer is getting worse and can’t be cured. Healthcare providers may recommend treatment that eases your symptoms and gives you as much time as possible to be with your loved ones.
