What are the common hazards of liver cancer? Common serious hazards of liver cancer

Below, we analyze the common clinical hazards of liver cancer, hoping to arouse sufficient awareness among everyone.

Experts point out that the hazards of liver cancer are as follows:

Acute abdomen is a common hazard of liver cancer. Rupture of cancerous nodules usually causes pain in the liver area. During physical examination, there is obvious tenderness in the liver area, which is a symptom of liver capsule irritation. After the rupture of cancerous nodules, some patients experience acute abdominal pain accompanied by peritoneal irritation symptoms, which can be easily misdiagnosed as acute peritonitis. Abdominal pain caused by rupture of cancerous nodules is usually accompanied by a drop in blood pressure or even shock, which is different from general acute peritonitis.

The incidence of ruptured hemorrhage of liver cancer nodules is about 9-14%. Necrosis and liquefaction of primary liver cancer tissue can cause spontaneous rupture or rupture due to external force. If it is confined to the subcapsular membrane, there may be sudden pain and rapid enlargement of the liver; if it ruptures into the abdominal cavity, it may cause acute abdominal pain and peritoneal irritation signs, and in severe cases, it may cause hemorrhagic shock or death. Patients with mild primary liver cancer will stop bleeding after a few days and the pain will gradually subside.
