What are the symptoms of advanced liver cancer?

Advanced liver cancer refers to cancer cells > 5cm or multiple lesions in the patient's liver, whose cancer cells invade or metastasize to other places. In a few special cases, the primary liver cancer lesions are small but metastasize to other parts. The patient will experience complications such as food depression, gastrointestinal bleeding, and jaundice. From these aspects, it is considered that the patient has entered advanced liver cancer. Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. There are no symptoms in the early stage of the disease. As the tumor progresses, swelling, pain, and digestive system abnormalities appear. The overall prognosis of advanced liver cancer is poor and generally cannot be cured. For the symptoms currently described, diuretics can be used appropriately to relieve the symptoms. Patients with advanced liver cancer generally have symptoms such as fever, indigestion, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension, weight loss, fatigue, lower limb edema, peritoneal effusion, and difficulty breathing.

Recurrence rate of liver cancer after transplantation

The specific recurrence rate after liver cancer transplantation is absolute. Generally speaking, the smaller the early liver cancer lesions are, the less likely liver transplantation recurrence is. The possibility of liver cancer transplantation recurrence is high, and alpha-fetoprotein needs to be checked, and the possibility of recurrence is also high. HCC treatment should adopt different methods according to different stages to control the development of the disease, but the specific recurrence rate is still unclear. In large liver transplantation centers, the success rate of liver transplantation surgery is higher. Analysis: The specific recurrence rate is difficult to say, and the diameter of a single tumor is ≤5cm.

Will alpha-fetoprotein increase in the early stages of liver cancer?

In most cases, alpha-fetoprotein will be elevated in the early stages of liver cancer, but this is not absolute. Liver cancer should be treated as soon as possible. It is very important to treat it as soon as possible to avoid the condition developing into a more serious disease. During treatment, we should pay more attention to diet. We should eat a light diet, eat more easily digestible food, avoid spicy and irritating food, and avoid smoking and drinking. If alpha-fetoprotein rises again during the review process, we must pay attention to whether liver cancer recurs again, causing alpha-fetoprotein to rise further. Most patients with early liver cancer will have elevated alpha-fetoprotein.
