What are the symptoms after colon cancer metastasis to the liver area

What are the symptoms after colon cancer metastasizes to the liver? In recent years, colon cancer has become one of the malignant tumors that threaten human health. If the early symptoms of colon cancer are not discovered and treated in time, it is likely to develop into the middle and late stages. Some patients will also have liver metastasis of colon cancer. Liver metastasis of colon cancer is one of the important factors leading to patient death, so once liver metastasis of colon cancer is discovered, treatment should be provided as soon as possible.

What are the symptoms of liver cancer metastasis?

1. Intestinal obstruction

Left-sided colon cancer is often complicated by intestinal obstruction, sometimes with abdominal colic, accompanied by abdominal distension, hyperactive bowel sounds, etc.

2. Abdominal mass

In the late stage of liver metastasis of colon cancer, abdominal masses are often seen in the right abdomen, indicating that it has reached the middle and late stages. The surface of the mass may feel nodular and can generally be moved, but in the late stage of the tumor it becomes fixed and may be tender when combined with infection.

3. Abdominal pain of varying degrees

There is often erosion, necrosis and secondary infection. If it occurs on the right side, it will cause dull pain in the right abdomen, and sometimes abdominal pain after meals.

4. Progressive anemia

Patients with advanced liver metastasis of colon cancer may experience progressive anemia, low fever, progressive weight loss, cachexia, hepatomegaly, edema, jaundice and ascites.

5. Symptoms of liver disease

The symptoms of colon cancer liver metastasis will manifest as a series of liver diseases as the tumor further infiltrates. To a certain extent, in addition to the general symptoms of the tumor, colon cancer liver metastasis will also manifest special symptoms of the metastatic site. Due to the specificity of liver function, the symptoms of colon cancer liver metastasis will also show certain uniqueness, such as pain in the liver area, fever, etc.
