Liver metastases?
DefinitionLiver metastases are cancerous tumors that have spread to the liver from somewhere else in the body.See also: Hepatocellular carcinomaAlternative NamesMetastases to the liver; Metastatic liver cancer; Liver cancer - metastaticCauses, incidence, and risk factorsCancers that may spread to the liver include:Breast cancerColorectal cancerEsophageal cancerLung cancerMelanomaPancreatic cancerStomach cancerThe risk of cancer spreading to the liver depends on the site of the original cancer. A liver metastasis may be present when the original (primary) cancer is diagnosed, or it may occur months or years after the primary tumor is removed.SymptomsIn some cases, there are no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:AnorexiaConfusionFeversJaundice(yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)NauseaPain, usually in the upper right part of the abdomenSweatsWeight lossSigns and testsTests that may be done to diagnose liver metastases include:CT scan of the abdomenLiver function testsMRI of the abdomenPET scanUltrasound of the liverTreatmentTreatment depends on:The primary cancer siteHow many liver tumors you haveWhether it has spread to other organs besides the liverYour overall healthWhen the cancer has spread to the liver and other organs, whole-body (systemic) chemotherapy is usually used.When the spread is limited to the liver, systemic chemotherapy may still be used. However, other treatment methods may be effective. When the tumor is only in one or a few areas of the liver, the cancer may be removed with surgery.The use of radiofrequency waves or injection of toxic substances may also be used to kill tumors. When larger areas of the liver are involved, treatment may involve giving chemotherapy directly into the liver, or a procedure called embolization, which blocks blood flow to parts of the liver to "starve" the tumor cells.Expectations (prognosis)How well you do depends on the location of the original cancer and how much it has spread to the liver. In a small number of cases, surgery to remove the liver tumors may lead to a cure. This is usually only possible in patients with certain tumor types (for example, colorectal cancer), and when there are a limited number of tumors in the liver.In most cases, cancer that has spread to the liver is not curable. Patients with liver metastases usually die of their disease eventually. However, treatments may help shrink tumors, improve life expectancy, and relieve symptoms.ComplicationsComplications are generally the result of tumors spreading to a large area of the liver.They can include:Blockage of the flow of bileDecreased appetiteFeverLiver failure (usually only in the late stages of disease)PainWeight lossCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have cancer and suspect that it has spread to the liver. Anyone who has had a type of cancer that can spread to the liver should be aware of the signs and symptoms listed above, and call a physician if any of these develop.PreventionEarly detection of some types of cancer may prevent the spread of these cancers to the liver.ReferencesLewis RL.
