Late-stage liver metastasis of breast cancer refers to the appearance of metastatic lesions caused by cancer cells entering the liver through blood transport pathway or lymphatic pathway.
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor originated from breast epithelial cells, and the causes are related to genetic factors, mental factors, exposure to radioactive or toxic substances, hormone level disorders and daily dietary habits.
In the early stage of the disease, the lesions are limited and usually do not metastasize, and patients usually show painless lumps in the breast. As the lesion continues to develop, the cancer inside the breast will develop and become bigger, and besides infiltrating into the surrounding tissues, it may also metastasize to distant organs and tissues through blood and lymphatic channels. In this case, liver is a common metastatic organ of breast cancer lesions.
Patients may experience pain in the liver area, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, anorexia, jaundice, ascites, and itchy skin.
Although the patient is in the advanced stage of the disease and has already developed liver metastasis, it is still recommended that the patient should receive regular treatment under the guidance of the doctor, and try to stabilize the condition through surgical treatment, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, and targeted drug therapy.
