What are the early symptoms of liver cancer

What are the early symptoms of anal cancer?

Early symptoms of liver cancer:

1. Pain in the liver area

Liver pain is usually located under the right rib or xiphoid process, and the pain is intermittent or continuous dull pain. It may be dull or stabbing. Before the pain, the patient may feel discomfort in the right upper abdomen. The pain can be relieved in a short time.

2. Digestive tract symptoms

Loss of appetite and upper abdominal fullness after meals. Heatstroke, indigestion, and nausea are common digestive tract symptoms of liver cancer, among which loss of appetite and abdominal distension are the most common. Diarrhea is also a common digestive tract symptom of liver cancer. It has been reported both at home and abroad, with a high incidence rate, and it is easy to be mistaken for chronic enteritis.

3. Fever

A considerable number of liver cancer patients will sweat and have a fever. Most of the fevers are low to moderate, and a few patients may have a high fever, above 39°C, usually without chills. Liver cancer fever is mostly cancer fever, which is caused by the release of pyrogens into the blood circulation after tumor tissue necrosis.

4. Weight loss and fatigue

Liver cancer patients are often more fatigued than other tumor patients, similar to patients with chronic hepatitis. Weight loss is also a common symptom of liver cancer patients, which is caused by damaged liver function. Digestion and absorption function decreases. As the disease progresses, the degree of weight loss will increase, and in severe cases, malignant lesions will occur.

5. Bleeding tendency

Liver cancer patients often have bleeding gums, subcutaneous ecchymoses and other bleeding tendencies, which are mainly caused by impaired liver function and abnormal coagulation function, especially in patients with liver cancer and cirrhosis. Gastrointestinal bleeding is more common, mainly due to esophageal varices caused by portal hypertension. In fact, gastrointestinal bleeding is also the main cause of death in liver cancer patients.
