Jeffrey King was a patient who had stage 4A colon cancer that had spread to his liver.
History[]
Jeffrey had a history of colon cancer that had spread to his liver. He was ineligible for liver transplant, so Meredith planned a procedure that involved rerouting blood flow through one side of the liver, allowing it to grow more healthy tissue while depriving the cancerous side. A second surgery would remove the cancerous part. His initial surgery went well, but later that day, he threw a clot and despite Meredith's best efforts, he died.
