What are the symptoms of advanced liver cancer? Pay attention to these symptoms of advanced liver cancer early

"There are no specific symptoms in the early stages of liver cancer, which makes it difficult to detect liver cancer in the early stages." Experts said that specifically, if citizens feel the following signs, they may be alert that liver cancer is already present and has reached the late stage.

"Since only the liver capsule has nerves, no matter how big the tumor is, it will not hurt unless the cancerous tissue invades the capsule. The liver can still maintain normal function as long as 1/3 of its size remains. Therefore, symptoms of liver dysfunction will not occur until 66% of the liver is destroyed. Therefore, liver cancer patients may not feel anything for a long time after the onset of the disease. When the tumor grows and compresses the adjacent organs and nerves or blocks blood vessels, some symptoms such as liver pain, decreased appetite, fatigue, and weight loss will gradually occur. In the late stage, there will be jaundice, ascites, hematemesis, coma and other symptoms." Experts said that once liver cancer enters the late stage, there will be the following symptoms:

Intermittent or constant dull or stabbing pain in the right upper abdomen

If liver cancer is located in the lower right lobe of the liver, the mass can be directly felt under the patient's right rib, and if liver cancer is located in the left lobe of the liver, the mass can be felt under the xiphoid process or left rib; because the tumor blocks the bile duct, bile cannot be discharged and accumulates in the blood, and the patient will experience jaundice; due to liver enlargement, the tumor invades the diaphragm, stimulating the diaphragmatic nerve and causing right shoulder pain; ascites, some patients will experience lower limb edema due to tumor compression of the inferior vena cava; loss of appetite, nausea, decreased body weight, fatigue, physical weakness and fever; paraneoplastic syndrome, such as polycythemia, hypoglycemia, etc.
