13 years ago Every cancer described in DO is the primary cancer. We do not capture cancer disease progression such as metastasis. Primary liver cancer is a synonym of liver cancer.

when we query for 'liver cancer', we'd like to see both 'primary liver cancer' and 'metastatic liver cancer' among its children. however, in DO, 'liver metastases' and 'Adult Primary Liver Cancer' only converge to 'Malignant neoplasm of liver and intrahepatic bile ducts' if we go up 2 and 4 levels from the two nodes, respectively.
