What are the symptoms of early liver cancer? Can liver cancer be cured?

In recent years, many people have suffered from liver diseases due to their lifestyles, and some people have even suffered from liver lesions due to long-term liver damage, which has led to liver cancer. Many people think that liver cancer is a disease that is difficult to cure, but they don’t know that liver cancer will have some characteristics in the early stages, and it can be cured if it is discovered in time.

What are the early characteristics of liver cancer?

1. Often feel tired

In the early stages of liver cancer, patients will feel easily fatigued, especially after rest, and this fatigue may occur at any time. This is mainly because cancer cells destroy the storage function of the liver, resulting in insufficient energy supply in the body and frequent fatigue.

2. Digestive tract diseases

A research survey shows that 37% of liver cancer patients will experience a series of related digestive tract disease symptoms in the early stages of the disease. Most people mistakenly think that these symptoms are stomach problems, such as bloating, indigestion, nausea, etc., but they do not know that when excluding stomach diseases, they should be alert to the possibility of liver cancer.

3. Weight loss

Weight loss is also one of the early symptoms of liver cancer. If you are not trying to lose weight deliberately and your appetite is normal, but you find that your weight continues to drop, you should be alert to the possibility of liver cancer. This is mainly because cancer absorbs nutrients from the body and causes nutritional deficiencies, which leads to weight loss.

4. Frequent fever

Some liver cancer patients will experience low to moderate fever in the early stages, especially in the summer when the temperature is relatively high and the body temperature will continue to rise. This is mainly because the appearance of cancer cells causes necrosis of body tissues and releases some heat sources. These heat sources enter the blood circulation system, causing all parts of the body to be in a state of fever.

Can liver cancer be cured?

Most people think that liver cancer is an incurable disease, but they don’t know that it has certain symptoms in the early stages. If the symptoms can be discovered and treated in time, then professional treatment through surgery or chemotherapy can extend one’s lifespan, and some can even completely cure the disease.

Many liver cancer patients may take Western medicine for treatment when the disease occurs, but they do not know that Chinese medicine is also an indispensable treatment for liver cancer. Lin Lizhu (expert appointment), chief physician of the Oncology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, once said in an interview that Chinese medicine is an indispensable treatment for liver cancer. Since there are relatively few Western medicines for the treatment of liver cancer, Chinese medicine treatment can protect the liver and inhibit the spread of cancer cells.

In general, a series of related symptoms will appear in the early stages of liver cancer. Therefore, when you find yourself experiencing these symptoms, you should be alert and not take it lightly. Also, once you have liver cancer, don't let yourself be too depressed. Taking timely measures for treatment can achieve cure.
