Other Metastatic Tumors to the Liver

UPMC Content 2

Many other cancers beside colon and rectal cancer may spread (metastasize) to the liver.

These include:

  • Breast cancer
  • Esophageal cancer
  • Gastric (stomach) cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Metastatic melanoma
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Renal cell carcinoma

Sometimes, this occurs years after the primary tumor has been diagnosed and treated.

Neuroendocrine tumors also may occur. These are tumors resulting from cells that release hormones as a response to a signal from the nervous system.

If the tumor is confined to the liver, then the experts at the Liver Cancer Center may consider the same treatment options they use for managing metastatic colon cancer or primary liver tumors, such as:

  • Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer)
  • Gallbladder cancer
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma

Most important is to, first, have a full evaluation to adequately stage the extent of the tumor.
