What cancers spread to the liver?

My friend's mother was diagnosed with liver cancer, but it started somewhere else. I'm trying to understand how that happens. Which cancers are known to spread to the liver?

Colorectal, breast, and lung cancers commonly spread to the liver. Keep your faith strong, take care of your health, and trust the medical treatments.

Colon, pancreatic, and breast cancers frequently metastasize to the liver. Save time by getting an abdominal CT scan done if your oncologist recommends it.

Colon cancer is the main one, but don't let Google scare you into thinking your liver is failing! Just follow your doctor's advice and eat simple food.

Yes, breast and bowel cancers are known to spread to the liver. Regular imaging tests help doctors monitor and treat this effectively.
