A member asked:
Can lymphoma spread to the liver and kidneys? if not, what type of cancer does spread this way?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Lymphoma can indeed involve the kidneys but more commonly, the liver. Multiple other malignancies (colon, pancreatic) can also metastasize to the liver but less frequently to the kidneys.

Yes: Lymphoma can spread to liver and rarely to the kidney and also carcinomas will spread to both organs with preference to liver.
