Experts analyze the symptoms of early liver cancer

Liver cancer is the most common malignant tumor, second only to gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. More and more patients have lost their lives due to liver cancer. Therefore, understanding the symptoms of liver cancer is very helpful for patients to treat liver cancer in time. Let's take a look at the symptoms of liver cancer .

What are the symptoms of early liver cancer?

1. Hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and fever: 90% of liver cancers have hepatomegaly

2. Obvious loss of appetite: abdominal distension, indigestion, sometimes nausea and vomiting

3. Systemic failure: severe fatigue, weight loss, progressive anemia and edema.

4. Liver pain: There may be persistent or intermittent pain in the liver area, which may sometimes be aggravated by changes in body position. It may radiate to the back or right shoulder.

5. Jaundice and ascites: About 1/3 of the cases have jaundice during the course of the disease. The cause of jaundice is that the tumor invades the main bile duct in the liver, and the metastatic cancer of the portal lymph nodes compresses the extrahepatic bile duct. Ascites is often caused by the patient's original liver cirrhosis , the invasion of cancer tissue into the vein to form a cancer thrombus, and the compression of the portal vein by cancer nodules. Ascites often accumulates very quickly and can be straw yellow or bloody.

6. Skin itching: It is a common symptom of liver cancer.

7. The enlarged liver is often hard and irregular, with nodules of varying sizes on the edges. Giant liver cancer can sometimes deform the liver, making it difficult to distinguish during palpation.

8. Bleeding: It often manifests as nose bleeding and subcutaneous bleeding, which is mostly caused by liver tissue damage and liver failure. Portal hypertension can cause esophageal and gastric varicose vein rupture and bleeding. When cancerous tissue invades the bile duct at the liver portal, it can cause bile duct bleeding.
