What Are Treatments for Liver Cancer With Mets to Colon?
Colorectal cancer is the second leading type of cancer in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute. It ranks second only to breast cancer in women and lung cancer in men. Colorectal cancer is the growth of malignant cells in the colon or rectum that form a tumor. It has a strong link to the liver. The National Cancer Institute estimates that four-fifths of those diagnosed with liver cancer also have colorectal cancer and that at least 30 percent of colorectal cancer cases are the result of metastasis, or spreading from the liver.
