Most often, colon cancer spreads to the liver, but it can also spread to the ovaries, lungs, or brain. Colon cancer tends to spread to the liver first, because all of the blood from the colon drains to the liver before proceeding to the rest of the body.
A cancer that has spread from the place where it first started to another place in the body is called metastatic cancer. The process by which cancer cells spread to other parts of the body is called metastasis. Metastatic cancer has the same name and the same type of cancer cells as the original, or primary, cancer. For example, breast cancer that spreads to and forms a metastatic tumor in the lung is metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer.
