What is metastatic liver cancer?

Metastatic liver cancer refers to tumor cells from organs other than the liver that have spread to the liver through the blood or lymph fluid.

Liver metastasis may be a multiple lesion rather than a single lesion, and the development of the disease can be controlled through systemic anti-tumor therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, local interventional therapy, radiotherapy, etc.

For primary lesions, such as colorectal, breast, or lung to liver, if metastatic liver cancer can be considered for simultaneous surgical resection, the primary lesion can be removed together with the metastatic lesion.

What are the symptoms of liver cancer metastasizing to the brain?

If the patient's brain metastasis is large and located deep, and cannot be surgically removed, and the patient loses the opportunity for surgery, he or she can actively tolerate brain radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Through comprehensive treatment, the patient's survival time can be extended and the patient's quality of life can be improved.

After liver cancer metastasizes to the brain, patients will experience symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, mainly manifested as severe pain, nausea, vomiting, papilledema and decreased vision; Headache: It is paroxysmal at first, mostly occurring in the morning and evening, mostly in the forehead and two temporal regions, and posterior cranial fossa tumors sometimes cause pillow headaches that radiate to the eye sockets.
