What is Metastatic Liver Cancer?
â–Ş Liver metastasis occurs when cancerous tumor cells spread to the liver from another part of the body. These tumor cells often appear shortly after the primary tumor develops, or months or years later.
2
Most liver metastases start as cancers in colon or rectum.
3
â–Ş Nearly 70% of patients with colorectal cancer develop liver metastases. This happens in part because blood from intestines is connected directly to liver through the portal vein.Â
4
Although much less common, liver metastases can start from breast, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, lung, kidney or skin cancer.
5
â–Ş The progression of metastatic liver is quite severe and abrupt, so treatment must commence as soon as possible after first diagnosed, based on the following symptoms.
