Options..: If colon cancer spreads only to the liver, it can still potentially be treated successfully. There are multiple liver treatment options (surgery, radiofrequency ablation, sbrt, endovascular chemo/y90, etc.). He should be seen at a cancer center with a large liver surgery/treatment volume.

Poor: This is stage 4. For patients with colon cancer and liver lesions that could be totally resected, the 5 year overall survival can be 20% or more. Unfortunately in your father cases, the liver lesions are unlikely resectable. The 5 year overall survival for stage 4 is 6%.
