What are the early symptoms of liver cancer? Three major symptoms suggest that liver cancer is still in the early stages

Liver cancer is a very serious disease. Once infected, many people will die from this disease, so we cannot ignore the seriousness of the disease. To treat liver cancer, we must first understand the symptoms of the disease and detect the disease early, so that we can treat it early and control the disease faster.

1. Fever as a symptom of liver cancer. Quite a number of liver cancer patients will experience sweating and fever. Most fevers are low to moderate, and a few patients may have high fevers, above 39°C, generally without chills. Fever of liver cancer is mostly cancerous fever, which is caused by the release of pyrogens into the blood circulation after tumor tissue necrosis. Tumor patients are prone to infection due to low resistance, and may also have fever, which is sometimes difficult to distinguish from cancerous fever of liver cancer. It is necessary to combine blood counts and observe whether antibacterial treatment is effective to make a judgment.

2. Digestive symptoms of liver cancer. Loss of appetite and upper abdominal fullness after meals. Flatulence, indigestion, and nausea are common digestive symptoms of liver cancer, among which loss of appetite and abdominal distension are the most common. Diarrhea is also a common digestive symptom of liver cancer, which has been reported both at home and abroad. The incidence is high and it is easy to be mistaken for chronic enteritis. Portal hypertension and intestinal dysfunction caused by portal vein or hepatic vein cancer thrombus can cause abdominal distension and increased bowel movements. Abdominal distension can also be caused by ascites. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can also lead to symptoms such as indigestion, flatulence, and nausea.

3. Weight loss and fatigue as symptoms of liver cancer. Liver cancer patients often feel more fatigued than other tumor patients, which is similar to patients with chronic hepatitis. The cause of fatigue is unknown. It may be due to digestive disorders, nutritional absorption disorders leading to insufficient energy, or liver cell damage and decreased liver function, resulting in metabolic disorders, certain toxins cannot be inactivated in time, or necrosis of liver cancer tissue releases toxic substances. Weight loss is also a common symptom of liver cancer patients, which is due to damaged liver function. It is caused by decreased digestion and absorption function. As the disease progresses, the degree of weight loss may worsen, and cachexia may occur in severe cases.

Liver cancer patients must pay attention to the disease, because the mortality rate of liver cancer is very high. Once the disease is contracted, the patient will be troubled by the disease. However, patients should not lose confidence in curing the disease. As long as it can be treated early, the disease can be effectively controlled.
