What if no forms of chemotherapy work on a colon cancer pt who has a liver met ? are there other options ?

Options: Ask your oncologist if any of the following options are applicable to your case: metastasectomy, RFA or SBRT.

Single liver met: If you have a single liver metastasis, surgery may be an option. Talk with your oncologist.

Radiation and surgery: Aside from chemotherapy, the 2 types of treatment for cancer are radiotherapy & surgery. Liver mets, if they block a duct or cause a "local" problem can be treated with radiation beam to alleviate suffering. If the patient is strong enough to withstand it, surgery and/or brachytherapy (radiation implants) can be tried; however, colon cancer is a systemic problem and chemo is the main modality. GL.
