What happens if liver cancer develops in the late stage

Liver diseases have a great impact. People should pay attention to the occurrence of liver cancer in their lives. After the disease occurs, they should understand the symptoms so that they can pay attention to the treatment of the disease. The main symptom is the initial pain in the liver area. So, what are the specific symptoms of liver cancer?

Liver pain. There may be persistent or intermittent pain in the liver area, which may sometimes be aggravated by changes in body position. It may radiate to the back or right shoulder. Advanced liver cancer may suddenly cause severe abdominal pain and peritoneal irritation, which may be caused by necrosis of the tumor nodules or bleeding into the abdominal cavity. All of the above are early symptoms of liver cancer.

Enlarged liver, enlarged spleen, fever. The enlarged liver is often hard, irregular in appearance, and may have nodules of varying sizes on the edges. What are the early symptoms of liver cancer? Splenic metastasis is extremely rare in patients with liver cancer and cirrhosis. Giant liver cancer can sometimes deform the liver, making it difficult to distinguish during palpation. Splenomegaly mostly occurs in the liver. Fever is quite common in liver cancer patients, which may be caused by ischemic necrosis of cancer tissue, absorption of necrotic products, and concurrent infection. 90% of liver cancers have enlarged liver.

Joint pain: Patients with a history of hepatitis may suddenly experience joint pain all over the body, especially in the waist and back, accompanied by decreased appetite and discomfort in the liver area, and may not respond well to anti-rheumatic treatment.

The early symptoms of liver cancer are as follows:

1. A history of hepatitis and cirrhosis, the condition has been stable for many years, no chills or fever, but sudden dull pain or severe pain in the liver and gallbladder area

2. A lump can be felt in the right upper abdomen and upper abdomen. It is hard in texture, uneven in surface, and shows an obvious tendency to increase in size with continuous observation, but the patient has no obvious discomfort.

3. Dry mouth, irritability, insomnia, gum and nasal bleeding, accompanied by upper abdominal distension and discomfort in the liver area.

4. Pain in joints all over the body, especially in the waist and back, accompanied by anorexia, irritability, discomfort in the liver area, and poor response to anti-rheumatic treatment.

5. Patients with recurrent diarrhea accompanied by indigestion and abdominal distension, ineffective treatment for gastroenteritis or incurable disease, dull pain in the liver area, and gradual weight loss.

In addition, some typical symptoms of liver cancer will only occur when the disease progresses to the middle and late stages, and by then the chance of surgery has often been lost, so regular self-examination is very important. If you feel tired and weak and cannot be relieved, it may be a sign of liver disease; if you feel a dull feeling in the pit of your stomach, or a dull pain in the upper right part of your abdomen, a sense of oppression and discomfort, weight loss, unexplained fever, and jaundice, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

At this time, you should be vigilant, make a timely diagnosis, receive scientific treatment, and stay away from the threat of the disease.
