[|Human|] Could you please tell me the prognosis of Liver Cancer. ? My friend has just been diagnosed with it and the tumours are on the blood vessels. She attended for Radioactive injections yesterday and will and will be told the results today.She has been told that they are malignant but they don t know where the Prmary is as the only tumours to show up on the MRI scan were on the Liver. Appreciate any information. Thank you.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Liver is the most common site for metastases.  The reason for this is reach blood supply of liver and suitable environment for tumor growth. And to find liver metastases is an accidental thing. After this we need to search for primary.  For this PET scan is best. So the radioactive injections you are talking about must be PET SCAN only. This will tell you the primary site of tumor. Possible primary sites are1. Lungs2. Kidneys3. Intestines etc.
