Liver biopsy for Mets??

Hello, my mum has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has shown three hotspots in liver from peT scan. Does anyone know if liver biopsy should b used to confirm this diagnosis? She is otherwise well. But worried about the risks of a biopsy vs Mets diagnosis which leaves mum on palliative care. 

many thanks
