Recently,my dad did a pet-ct scan. 4 tumours in liver, 2 are about 1.5cm and 2 less than 1.0 cm. these tumous are from his colon. what to expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatments available: Case should be discussed on a multi-specialty tumor board. Inoperable liver metastasis may be treated with chemotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, & Radioembolization (performed by Interventional Radiology). Radioembolization combined with chemo has shown to slow progression for colon cancer when disease has progressed following prior treatment with chemotherapy & metastases limited to the liver.
