“…Patients with many types of cancer are at high risk of liver metastases. Moreover, tumors originating from intra‐abdominal organs, such as those of the stomach, pancreas, colon, gallbladder, bile duct, and ovary, often exhibit both peritoneal dissemination and liver metastasis . Together with the findings of our previous study , the results obtained in this study suggest that the i.p.…”
