An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A liver metastasis is a malignant tumor in the liver that has spread from another organ affected by cancer. The liver is a common site for metastatic disease because of its rich, dual blood supply (the liver receives blood via the hepatic artery and portal vein). Metastatic tumors in the liver are 20 times more common than primary tumors. In 50% of all cases the primary tumor is of the gastrointestinal tract; other common sites include the breast, ovaries, bronchus and kidney. Patients with Colorectal cancer will develop liver metastases during the disease

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Eine Lebermetastase oder Leberfilia ist eine bösartige Tumorabsiedlung (Metastase, Tochtergeschwulst) in der Leber. Bei einer Lebermetastase handelt es sich nicht um einen Tumor, der aus den Leberzellen selbst entsteht, sondern es sind Tumorzellverbände anderer Gewebe, die in der Leber hängen bleiben und dort weiterwachsen. Da die Leber durch ihre Kapillargefäße einen Blutfilter darstellt, ist sie relativ häufig von Metastasen betroffen. (de)
