Abdominal Metastases

Definition: Abdominal metastases occur when cancer cells spread to abdominal organs from primary tumors located elsewhere in the body.

Current Status and Incidence: The incidence varies widely depending on the type of primary cancer. For example, colorectal cancer frequently metastasizes to the liver.

Treatment Methods: Often involve systemic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted treatments, as well as surgical resection when feasible.
