My grandfather was just diagnosed with adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell features. I am in a different state so the deatils are kind of sketchy. It sounds like it is in his intestines or colon? Can anyone give me some information on this in laymans terms?

This is a cancer of the colon. The signet ring cell features means the the cells from the cancer look like "rings". Unfortunately this cancer is VERY hard to treat.

There are many other good books about surviving this disease, and you should know about this option, even if you choose to go the traditional route with it's abysmal prognosis. Best of luck.

Adenocarcinoma refers to cancers that comes from "glandular epithelium." Most intestinal cells from the stomach down to the rectum is composed of this type of epithelium (epithelium refers to covering of the intestine, top layer of cells). Anyway, as another has said, "signet ring" refers to the appearance of this type of adenoma under the microscope. Actually, this type of cancer is more usually associated with cancers arising from the stomach than of the colon. A careful staging work up is necessary to determine the origin of the cancer.
