I was wondering after someone has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and then after 6 months of chemo it has spread to the liver acn they operate and take it out of the liver or does the cancer just find another part of the body to go to

At stage 4, the prognosis is pretty grim. They might be able to remove the liver, but the odds are that the cancer has already spread. In other words, removing the liver might not do any good. Good luck
2 :
Once cancer has spread to a distant site we know cancer cells are circulating in the body and they can start a new tumor anywhere. The liver is usually the first place colon cancer spreads. The liver would never be removed as the patient would die. Sometimes the lesions are removed, but this is not a curative measure.

It can cause tumor anywhere in your body and also cause death.
