[|Human|] Hi Dr. Grief, my sister was diagnosed with cervical cancer less than a year ago. She received chemo which ended in Dec.. Last week she went for her check up and the cancer had spread to lymph nodes near her liver. I ve always heard that once cancer has spread to lymph nodes it is really difficult to treat. Is this true? Also my brother said that since it s so close to the liver, it may spread to her liver which may cause her liver to fail.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Local lymphatic spread of cancer can be removed by DN block surgeries (removal of whole uterus, ovaries and Chat Doctor.  But once distant lymph nodes are involved like in your sisters' case hepatic nodes, then chances of cure are decreased and one can not do surgery as tumor has spread in the body. So involvement of liver nodes suggest distant spread in cervical cancer. And yes, chances of liver involvement are high if surrounding nodes are involved.
