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.
