Im afraid I'm going to have to start a meaningful thread.

My brother recently had his sigmoid colon removed owing to a 4 cm
adenocarcinoma. The tumor has metastisized to his liver. 1 out of 38
nodes removed from the IAM pedicle were positive. Multiple masses were
noted in the liver but was sufficiently intact to place a chemo pump.

The question is....What is the difference in prognosis of primary
liver cancer vs. Mets TO the liver.

Yes Ive been begging him to see somebody for 6 months.

I'm sorry to say that the prognosis is very poor in either case. If he
responds to the intrahepatic infusion, it could buy him as much as a year in
this situation. Maybe more.

You should have a colonoscopy. Soon.
