B. Liver metastasis

Liver metastasis indicates that cancer has already spread to the liver area. It is due to a cancerous tumor grown out from its original site to the liver, where it can now be considered secondary liver cancer. Of course, this differs from the primary liver cancer in that the tumor had originated in the liver where individuals with hepatitis or cirrhosis are credited with high risk.

However, most of the time, liver cancer is secondary due to metastasis and that the cancer cells found in the liver are not actually from the liver itself. At this point, the cancer is usually referred to as Stage IV or advanced cancer. The following are the symptoms:

(1) Jaundice;
(2) Swelling in the abdomen area;
(3) Dark-colored urine; and
(4) Pains in the right shoulder or upper right abdomen
