WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES
Cancer is always named based on the placewhere it started. So, colon cancer that has spread to the liver is called *metastatic colon cancer, not liver cancer. In this case, cancer cells taken from the liver would be the same as those in the colon. They would be treated in the same ways too. The same is true for breast cancer that has spread to the bones, for example. It is always called breast cancer.
