What are the symptoms of primary liver cancer? Analysis of the classification of middle and late stage primary liver cancer

Primary liver cancer occurs more frequently in current medicine, and the disease is divided into many different types. If you can understand these types, it will be helpful for controlling your condition. Therefore, it is hoped that liver cancer patients can have an appropriate understanding of this knowledge and should also be aware of its symptoms.

The so-called liver cancer is actually a malignant tumor occurring in the liver. Liver cancer can be mainly divided into metastatic liver cancer and primary liver cancer. Most of the liver cancers we talk about in daily life are primary liver cancer. Then the knowledge of primary liver cancer can also be divided into different periods. What are the classifications of advanced liver cancer? Let’s learn about it together.

Big Block

The tumor will form a huge mass with a diameter of up to ten centimeters. It is usually located in the right lobe of the liver. Necrosis or bleeding will also occur in the center of the cancer. We can also see many nodules around the huge mass. Most of the time, this type of classification will not have a background of cirrhosis.

Nodular

The tumor will form oval or multiple circular nodules, and at the same time, they will be dispersedly distributed. The diameter of the nodule generally does not exceed five centimeters, but they will merge into a larger nodule. This type of classification is relatively common in medicine, and most of these patients have a background of liver cirrhosis.

Diffuse

The so-called diffuse type means that the cancer tissue will be diffusely distributed in the patient's liver, without obvious nodules, or the nodules are relatively small. This situation is more likely to occur in patients with cirrhosis, so it is not easy to distinguish between cancer tissue and nodules caused by cirrhosis. However, the probability of this type of analysis occurring in medicine is relatively low.

In the early stages of liver cancer, the symptoms are not very obvious, and many patients may not even have symptoms. Once obvious symptoms appear, the condition has generally entered the late stage. The most obvious symptom of late liver cancer is pain in the liver area. Patients may also experience unexplained fever, weight loss, fatigue, etc. Some patients may also develop complications similar to cirrhosis, such as jaundice, black stools, etc.
