Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor in our lives. It has a huge impact on the families of many patients, even causing earth-shaking changes, causing many families to fall into endless pain and great financial difficulties.

First, the early subclinical stage. It takes about 10 months from the generation of precancerous cells to the diagnosis of subclinical liver cancer. There are no symptoms and it is difficult to detect by imaging.

Second, the subclinical stage. It usually takes about 10 months from subclinical liver cancer to the onset of symptoms, and it is often discovered by imaging. At this time, if it can be diagnosed early and surgically removed, the 5-year survival rate can reach 60%.

The third is the middle stage, which takes about 4 months from the onset of symptoms to jaundice, ascites or distant metastasis.

Fourth, the late stage. That is, from the onset of jaundice, ascites or distant metastasis to death, it takes about two months. The total course of liver cancer is about two and a half years, of which two years are in the early stage without symptoms. Once symptoms appear, most patients only have a survival time of half a year.
