The dangers of liver cancer

(1) Patients with liver cancer are prone to bleeding in their daily lives: Generally speaking, the younger the patient with liver cancer, the more malignant the disease is, and the disease progresses very rapidly. The blood supply around the cancer is insufficient, which can easily lead to ulcers, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation, and anemia occurs early, often before vomiting blood or black stools.

(2) Patients with liver cancer, especially young patients, have very subtle symptoms in the early stages of the disease. The symptoms they experience in their daily lives are usually upper abdominal pain, indigestion, and loss of appetite, which are often thought to be peptic ulcers or inflammation. Some women who have liver cancer during pregnancy may mistakenly think that it is a pregnancy reaction.

(3) After contracting liver cancer, patients’ condition progresses rapidly, metastasizes early, and their prognosis is poor: The younger the patient, the shorter the course of the disease, with the shortest course being only half a year. A considerable number of patients have already had extensive metastases when they are diagnosed, and they quickly develop cachexia.
