Liver Metastasis – TheTole Treatment & Herbal Approach
Overview
Liver metastasis occurs when cancer cells spread from a primary tumor in another organ to the liver. It is not primary liver cancer, but a secondary condition commonly associated with colorectal, breast, pancreatic, stomach, lung, and ovarian cancers. Because the liver plays a central role in detoxification, metabolism, and immune regulation, metastatic involvement can significantly affect overall systemic health.
Common symptoms may include persistent fatigue, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, abdominal discomfort or fullness, bloating, jaundice, and digestive disturbance. In advanced stages, liver function may become compromised, affecting nutrient processing, toxin clearance, and energy levels.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), liver metastasis is often associated with Qi stagnation, Blood stasis, Damp-Heat accumulation, and weakened Liver function, leading to impaired circulation and internal imbalance.
