2. Lung cancer
• Lung cancer causes due to smoking, pollution and asbestos
,etc.
• It causes severe damage to the health and causes various
symptoms.
• Lung cancer spread to the liver and other parts of the
body(http://www.slideshare.net/danielvhenny/lung-cancer-
spreads-to-brain-and-its-symptoms) if proper treatment were
not given.

4. Lung cancer spread to the liver
• Lung cancer spread (metastatic) to the liver is sadly too
common.
• Nearly fourty of people with lung cancer have metastases to a
distant region of the body at the time of diagnosis.
• Lung cancer spreads to the liver is called lung cancer
metastatic to the liver.

6. Symptoms
• The cancer that spreads to the liver causes various symptoms
such as pain on right side, under the ribs.
• The lung cancer patients will feel sick after eating the food or
they may lose their appetite.
• A later symptom is often jaundice, where the whites of your
eyes and your skin may look a bit yellow. Your doctor can use
a blood test to check how well your liver is working.

8. Test for liver metastases
• Test can be taken for liver metastases from lung cancer
include,
• CT scan of the abdomen
• Abdominal ultra sound
• MRI of abdomen
• Pet scan
• If your doctor is uncertain whether or not an abnormality in
your liver is related to your cancer, and the treatment
approach would vary depending upon the results, she may
recommend a liver biopsy in order to look at the tissue to be
certain of your diagnosis.

10. How it is treated?
• Chemotherapy or targeted therapies may be used to treat
stage 4 in general.
• Palliative treatment
(http://www.slideshare.net/danielvhenny/complications-in-
lung-cancer-treatment)continues to be the main approach
when many liver metastases are present, but for those with
fewer metastases are something referred to as
oligometastases that is changing.
• In the past, if only a single metastasis was present in the liver,
surgery was rarely considered to remove the tumor, but
newer radiation therapy techniques are improving upon this.

12. Radiation therapy
• There are two primary radiation techniques have been shown
to improve outcome in a subset of patients. These include:
• SBRT - Stereotactic body radiotherapy, in which high dose
radiation therapy is delivered in 1 to 5 treatments, or
• SABR - Stereotactic ablative radiation.

14. • Lung cancer spreads the liver and damage if proper
treatments are not given at right time.
• The various types of therapy are suggested to cure the lung
cancer.
• Patients that have better outcomes with this type of
treatment include patients with fewer metastases, those in
which the patient is treated for all known cancerous sites, and
in those who have longer disease.
