What is Metastatic Liver Cancer
Metastatic liver cancer is the result of liver cancer spreading to another part of the body, such as the colon or kidneys. Because the liver has more than one blood supply, and one if its main functions is to filter blood, many cases of liver cancer are metastatic liver cancer. When this occurs, the liver is considered to be the primary site of the cancer, and the organ it has spread to is considered the secondary site.
