10.1038/s41586-019-1004-y | Cancer most frequently spreads to the liver; here's why | When cancer spreads to another organ, it most commonly moves to the liver, and now researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania say they know why. A new study, published today in Nature, shows hepatocytes—the chief functional cells of the liver—are at the center of a chain reaction that m... | Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's Abramson Cancer Center have discovered why the liver is a common site for cancer to spread, and how to prevent it.

### Main Questions Answered in the [JOURNALISTIC-REPORT]:
1. Why is the liver the most common site for cancer metastasis?
2. What role do hepatocytes play in creating a pro-metastatic niche in the liver?
3. How does the IL-6–STAT3–SAA signaling pathway contribute to liver metastasis?
4. What are the implicati... | [
