Is immunotherapy for liver cancer painful?

Liver cancer immunotherapy is generally not painful.

Liver cancer is usually a malignant tumor that originates from liver tissue. It can be divided into primary liver cancer and metastatic liver cancer. The main symptoms are abdominal pain, weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, jaundice, etc. Immunotherapy is a treatment method that uses the body's own immune system to fight cancer. It mainly helps the body identify and attack cancer cells by activating or strengthening the body's immune response. Liver cancer immunotherapy may cause some side effects, but each patient's experience and feelings may be different. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or adverse reactions, but compared with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the treatment is usually not painful.

If liver cancer patients experience other discomfort symptoms after immunotherapy, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor after a clear diagnosis. Patients should follow up and check regularly according to the doctor's advice, which will help monitor the treatment effect and physical condition, and adjust the treatment plan in time.
