How is gastric ulcer metastasis to the liver treated?

Patient's question:

My grandfather has always had stomach problems and has been complaining about discomfort in his stomach for years. However, he never dared to go to the hospital for a thorough examination until one day he was so painful he couldn't get up and had to go for a check-up. The result showed that most of his stomach was ulcerated and it had even spread to his liver. The doctor said it was a bit troublesome and asked how to treat stomach ulcers that have spread to the liver.

Doctor's answer:

If the gastric ulcer has spread to the liver, it can only prove that the ulcer is malignant, meaning it is a type of gastric cancer. If it is gastric cancer and has already spread to the liver, then there is no chance for surgery. Treatment can be done through the following methods: The first is through chemotherapy, where chemotherapy drugs can be used throughout the body. The second is through palliative treatment methods.
