Metastasis is the most common neoplasm in an adult liver, and the liver is the second most common site for metastatic spread, after the lymph nodes. Analyzing the data from 9700 consecutive autopsies in patients with 10,736 primary cancers, Pickren et al found that liver metastases were present in 41%. They found that the primary sites most commonly metastasizing to the liver are the eye (77.8%), pancreas (75.1%), breast (60.6%), gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts (60.5%), colon or rectum (56.8%), and stomach (48.9%). In their article, Gilbert et al concluded that the liver is a primary target organ of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, some urologic cancers, neuroblastomas, some melanomas, and lung cancers. In breast cancer, the liver is less often the primary target organ. The liver may be the only organ involved in colorectal primaries, HCCs, and neuroendocrine tumors.

hope this helps.
