What are the symptoms of liver cancer

The early development of liver cancer is characterized by being hidden and generally not obvious, and it is very easy to be ignored by patients. This period can last about 2 years. The symptoms during this period are generally not obvious, but a small number of patients will have upper abdominal discomfort and general fatigue. The following is an introduction to the early symptoms of liver cancer:

1. Central necrosis of cold-heat type liver cancer can cause fever, and patients with advanced liver cancer may have irregular moderate fever.

2. Internal bleeding or rupture of the surface of the cancerous nodule in abdominal-type liver cancer can cause acute abdominal pain or intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Common rupture of liver cancer at the top of the right lobe of the liver causes pain in the right lower chest, right shoulder and back. The pain worsens when turning the body position and breathing. Those that penetrate into the abdominal cavity may cause hemorrhagic shock.

3. Early symptoms of liver cancer. Typical clinical liver cancer is asymmetric enlargement of the liver, which is hard and irregular and grows rapidly. Late-stage patients often have obvious cirrhosis, portal hypertension, ascites, jaundice, and cachexia. Patients with a history of hepatitis, HBsAg (+), have aggravated pain in the upper abdomen and liver area before seeing a doctor, especially after meals, accompanied by loss of appetite, weight loss, and lack of energy.

4. Symptoms of liver cancer: Early liver cancer, early or subclinical liver cancer, small tumors, often in hidden locations, patients often have no symptoms, and are only discovered accidentally during physical examinations. Patients may have some non-specific manifestations, such as upper abdominal discomfort and fullness.

5. Differential diagnosis of primary liver cancer and gastrointestinal bleeding: Gastrointestinal bleeding is often the cause of death from advanced liver cancer.

6. Jaundice. Jaundice is a major cause of liver cancer. The cause of jaundice is that the liver cancer tissue beside the bile duct penetrates into the bile duct to form a tumor thrombus, which grows downward and blocks the opening of the opposite hepatic duct or the common bile duct. The tumor thrombus is often accompanied by bleeding. The biliary colic caused by the CT scan can be confirmed by the space-occupying lesion, but intermittent upper abdominal pain and obstructive jaundice may occur, and sometimes it may be painless and persistent obstructive jaundice.

The symptoms of advanced liver cancer are very typical, mainly pain in the liver, the characteristics of the pain are very obvious, especially in advanced liver cancer patients, the pain is unbearable. And general fatigue and other symptoms are the most common is body weight loss, which is also one of the most common symptoms of advanced malignant tumors.
