What are the symptoms of advanced diffuse liver cancer? Introduction to the symptoms of advanced diffuse liver cancer

Advanced symptoms of diffuse liver cancer.

Diffuse liver cancer is also known as invasive liver cancer in clinical practice. This type of hepatocellular carcinoma lacks a clear boundary with non-cancerous tissue. The tumor is irregular in shape and has no capsule. The cancer foci vary in size and can fuse with each other. This type is mainly caused by the spread and invasive growth of hepatocellular carcinoma in the anus through the portal vein system.

Diffuse nodular liver cancer is characterized by the presence of a large number of small nodules in the liver, with a diameter of less than 1 cm, which are distributed throughout the liver and do not fuse with each other.

There are many symptoms of diffuse liver cancer, most of which are not obvious in the early stage. Common symptoms include pain in the liver area, upper abdominal distension, upper abdominal mass, etc. Pain in the liver area can be intermittent or continuous, and may be stabbing, distending, or dull. It can cause distending pain in the shoulders and back, and severe pain if the tumor ruptures.

Poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, bleeding, abdominal distension, ascites, jaundice, etc. may occur. As the disease progresses, fatigue, weight loss, cachexia, and complications include tumor rupture and massive bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, and hepatic coma.
