Symptoms of Liver Cancer
Cancer experts at Guangzhou R&F Hospital International Cancer Hospital pointed out that the early manifestations of liver cancer are not typical and are easily overlooked. In fact, bad living habits are closely related to the occurrence of liver cancer. For example, insufficient daily intake of fruits and vegetables, long-term staying up late, and frequent bowel movement due to busyness, these seemingly ordinary behaviors, invisibly increase the risk of cancer, making liver cancer not far away from us.
When symptoms of liver cancer appear, it is very easy to be misdiagnosed as other diseases. Symptoms such as abdominal distension, poor appetite, and nausea are often mistaken for stomach problems; dull pain in the upper right abdomen may be misdiagnosed as cholecystitis. Therefore, when you feel unwell, you must carefully identify the symptoms and go to the hospital for a detailed liver cancer diagnosis in time to reduce the chance of misdiagnosis. The following liver cancer symptoms deserve our special attention:
Significant loss of appetite: Patients often feel abdominal distension, indigestion, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. If you suspect a liver problem, liver ultrasound is a good choice. It has no adverse effects on body tissues and can preliminarily detect liver conditions.
Hidden pain in the right upper abdomen: There will be persistent or intermittent pain in the liver area. When the tumor metastasizes, the pain will often worsen. For liver pain, CT scans can clearly show the size, number, shape, location, borders, blood supply of the tumor, and the relationship with the intrahepatic ducts of liver cancer, providing key information for diagnosis.
Bleeding tendency: Nose bleeding and subcutaneous bleeding are common manifestations. This is because liver cancer may affect the coagulation function of the liver, which in turn leads to abnormal bleeding symptoms in the body.
Systemic symptoms: Patients will feel tired and emaciated, and may also have unexplained fever and edema. This is because the tumor consumes the body's nutrients in the body, affecting the body's normal metabolism and causing a series of systemic discomfort.
Jaundice, ascites and skin itching: When liver cancer develops to a certain stage, jaundice may occur, that is, the skin and sclera become yellow; it may also be accompanied by ascites, causing abdominal distension; at the same time, skin itching is also relatively common. The appearance of these symptoms shows that liver function is seriously affected.
Experts remind that some typical symptoms of liver cancer usually appear when the disease progresses to the middle and late stages, and at this time, the best time for surgical treatment has often been missed. Therefore, daily self-examination is crucial. If you feel fatigued and unable to be relieved, feel a dull feeling in the heart, or have dull pain, pressure and discomfort in the upper right part of the abdomen, unexplained weight loss, or unexplained fever, jaundice and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible, even if it is not necessarily liver cancer. Early detection and early treatment are extremely important for extending the survival period and improving the quality of life of liver cancer patients.
