What is the liver test called?

The liver test is typically called a liver function test. During breast cancer treatment, your doctor may order blood tests to measure substances that show how well your liver is working. This helps ensure you're healthy enough to receive treatments like chemotherapy.

These blood tests check liver function indicators and can help detect potential problems, including signs of liver metastasis. Your healthcare team may also use imaging tests like MRI scans, CT scans, ultrasounds, or PET scans to look at your liver more closely if there are concerns.

If you're experiencing symptoms like abdominal pain in the upper-right area, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), or other concerning signs, be sure to report them to your breast cancer care team so they can determine which tests are needed.
