Skr. karkara hard, the crab being named from its       hard shell. Cf. {Canner}, {Chancre}.]       1. (Zo[94]l.) A genus of decapod Crustacea, including some of             the most common shore crabs of Europe and North America,             as the rock crab, Jonah crab, etc. See {Crab}.          2. (Astron.)             (a) The fourth of the twelve signs of the zodiac. The                   first point is the northern limit of the sun's course                   in summer; hence, the sign of the summer solstice. See                   {Tropic}.             (b) A northern constellation between Gemini and Leo.          3. (Med.) Formerly, any malignant growth, esp. one attended             with great pain and ulceration, with cachexia and             progressive emaciation. It was so called, perhaps, from             the great veins which surround it, compared by the             ancients to the claws of a crab. The term is now             restricted to such a growth made up of aggregations of             epithelial cells, either without support or embedded in             the meshes of a trabecular framework.          Note: Four kinds of cancers are recognized: (1) {Epithelial                cancer, or Epithelioma}, in which there is no                trabecular framework. See {Epithelioma}. (2) {Scirrhous                cancer, or Hard cancer}, in which the framework                predominates, and the tumor is of hard consistence and                slow growth. (3) {Encephaloid, Medullary, [or] Soft                cancer}, in which the cellular element predominates,                and the tumor is soft, grows rapidy, and often                ulcerates. (4) {Colloid cancer}, in which the cancerous                structure becomes gelatinous. The last three varieties                are also called {carcinoma}.          {Cancer cells}, cells once believed to be peculiar to             cancers, but now know to be epithelial cells differing in             no respect from those found elsewhere in the body, and             distinguished only by peculiarity of location and             grouping.          {Cancer root} (Bot.), the name of several low plants, mostly             parasitic on roots, as the beech drops, the squawroot,             etc.          {Tropic of Cancer}.
