Why the primary tumour matters
A liver metastasis is treated according to the origin of the tumour cells. A colorectal cancer metastasis in the liver is therefore assessed differently from a metastasis originating from breast or lung cancer.
Local treatment options
Depending on number, size and location, surgery, radiotherapy or other locally directed procedures may be discussed in selected situations. A specialised treatment team decides whether this is feasible.
Systemic treatment
Systemic treatment is guided by the primary tumour, biomarkers and previous therapies. It may include chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted drugs or approved immunotherapies.
Immunotherapy
Whether immunotherapy is appropriate depends on the underlying tumour disease and relevant biomarkers – not on the location “liver” alone.
Have your records reviewed in context
For structured orientation, existing findings, histology, current imaging, previous treatments and – where available – molecular results can be brought together. This can help identify which questions should be clarified with the treating oncologist and which additional immuno-oncology information may be relevant.
