What are the early symptoms of liver cancer? Pay attention to these four points in the early stage of liver cancer

When it comes to liver cancer, many people are familiar with it. They all know that liver cancer is a tumor that occurs in the liver. They also know that the occurrence of liver cancer can endanger the body and even cause harm in severe cases. Since the incidence of liver cancer has been increasing in recent years and it is difficult to cure, in addition to protecting the liver in daily life, we must also understand some of the early symptoms of liver cancer. Because if liver cancer can be discovered in time in the early stages, the difficulty of treatment will be relatively low and the chance of cure will be relatively high.

What are the early symptoms of liver cancer?

1. Fever

Most liver cancer patients will have a fever, which is mainly because the tumor tissue will undergo necrosis in the body. When necrosis occurs, the heat source will be released and enter the blood circulation, making the body temperature remain high. So be vigilant. If the high fever persists above 39 degrees and ordinary cooling methods do not work, be vigilant.

2. Pain in the liver area

Pain in the liver area is a typical clinical manifestation of liver cancer. Most patients will experience this typical symptom after suffering from liver cancer, especially those with cirrhosis. This condition will be more serious in patients with liver cancer. Therefore, you must be alert when you find yourself experiencing pain in the liver area, especially in the lower right abdomen and right ribs.

3. Digestive tract symptoms

The occurrence of liver cancer can also cause patients to experience various gastrointestinal symptoms. Some people may not confuse gastrointestinal symptoms with liver cancer, but they do not know that when liver cancer occurs, due to the influence of the tumor, patients will experience symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, decreased appetite, and abdominal distension. Therefore, if you do not find any problems with the digestive tract when gastrointestinal symptoms occur, you must be prepared for liver cancer.

4. Weight loss

If you do not take any weight loss measures in the short term, and your appetite is normal but you are still losing weight, you should be alert after excluding some other diseases. It may be liver cancer. When liver cancer occurs, the nutrients taken into the body will be absorbed by cancer cells, which will lead to insufficient energy in the body and make the body lose weight.

Generally, if the above symptoms can be used to detect liver cancer in the body and timely treatment is carried out, the disease can be cured, especially for some high-risk groups. People at high risk of liver cancer are very likely to develop liver cancer in life, and these people should observe whether their bodies have these symptoms. Wang Yiming, chief physician of the Department of Oncology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, once said in an interview that some people with chronic hepatitis, with a long course of disease, who often drink alcohol and eat various pickled foods for a long time, should be vigilant in normal times. These people are at high risk of liver cancer. These people should have regular check-ups, regular liver B-ultrasound examinations, and observe whether their bodies have these symptoms in normal times, so that they can know their physical condition.

In general, the occurrence of liver cancer can be traced, so it is important to be aware of some of the early symptoms of liver cancer so that when liver cancer occurs, it can be treated to the greatest extent possible, thereby reducing the damage it causes to life.
