What are the symptoms of patients with advanced liver cancer

The onset of liver cancer is relatively hidden. Early liver cancer generally has no symptoms. When patients show obvious clinical symptoms, the disease is often in the middle or late stage. The symptoms of mid-stage liver cancer are between the early and late stages, and generally there are no obvious symptoms. Patients who have symptoms and seek medical treatment on their own are mostly in the middle or late stage, often with symptoms such as pain in the liver area, loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss and liver enlargement. So we summarize the symptoms of mid- and late-stage liver cancer for everyone:

Weight loss and fatigue

Liver cancer can cause liver damage, decreased digestion and absorption, and reduced food intake. In addition, the products of tumor metabolism can cause changes in the body's biochemical metabolism, leading to weight loss and fatigue, and the degree of weight loss can worsen. In severe cases, cachexia may also occur.

Gastrointestinal symptoms

In liver cancer, the liver functions poorly, resulting in increased pressure in the portal vein system and digestive tract dysfunction. The enlarged tumor may compress or involve the stomach, which may lead to digestive tract symptoms such as loss of appetite, upper abdominal fullness after meals, or even nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Bleeding

In liver cancer, liver function is damaged and coagulation function is abnormal, so bleeding tendencies such as bleeding gums, nose bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, and subcutaneous ecchymosis are common.

Pain in the liver area

Pain in the liver area is also one of the common symptoms of liver cancer patients. The pain is often more obvious at night. At the beginning, it is mostly intermittent or continuous dull pain or stabbing pain. It may be mild or severe or relieve itself within a period of time, or even disappear. It is mostly located in the right rib or under the xiphoid process, but it can also radiate to other parts and cause discomfort in other parts. For example, the pain of the tumor at the top of the diaphragm of the right lobe of the liver can radiate to the right shoulder or right back; the tumor in the left lobe of the liver will cause distension and pain in the upper abdomen earlier.

In addition to the above-mentioned symptoms of mid- and late-stage liver cancer, most liver cancers are complicated by liver cirrhosis, so mid- and late-stage liver cancers are generally accompanied by symptoms of chronic liver disease, such as chronic liver disease face, liver palms, spider hemorrhoids, hepatosplenomegaly, lower limb edema, jaundice, etc. If you have any questions about liver cancer, you can go to a regular hospital for consultation and treatment, or call the online consultation hotline or online consultation experts.
