How long is liver cancer latent period

summary

When I went to the hospital for physical examination last year, the liver function was still normal. But when I went to the hospital for physical examination this year, the doctor told me that I had liver cancer. At that time, I was a bit difficult to accept. Later, the doctor told me that the disease had a certain incubation period. Now let's talk about the incubation period of liver cancer.

How long is liver cancer latent period

First, it takes about two years for liver cancer to develop from the first cancer cell to conscious symptoms. During this period, patients may not have any symptoms or signs. A few patients may have anorexia, upper abdominal distension, fatigue, etc., and some patients may have mild hepatomegaly.

Second, how long you can live is closely related to the timing and method of treatment. As for the life span of patients after illness, it is determined by many factors, such as the patient's condition, treatment, and the patient's own physical, mental and psychological factors.

Third: the total course of liver cancer is about two and a half years, but the specific situation varies from person to person, according to the treatment method chosen by patients and their own constitution. Effective treatment can enhance the disease resistance ability of patients, prolong life, and can be used by patients with early liver cancer to receive treatment as soon as possible, so as to improve the survival rate.

matters needing attention

The incubation period of liver cancer is usually very long, and the early symptoms are difficult to be found. Therefore, we should strengthen the early diagnosis methods of liver cancer, and improve the early diagnosis rate of liver cancer as much as possible. If we go to the hospital regularly, it is easy to find early liver cancer and achieve timely treatment.
