Metastatic liver cancer is cancer that starts in one part of the body (for example, in the bowel, lung or eye) and spreads to the liver. Treatment depends on the type of cancer, where and how widespread the cancer is, and how well the liver is working. Treatments may include surgery to cut away the cancerous parts of the liver, using heat to kill the cancer, procedures that block the cancer's blood supply, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
NICE has looked at using microwave ablation as another treatment option.
