summary

The onset of liver cancer is hidden, very dangerous, known as the invisible killer. Early liver cancer usually does not produce symptoms, so it is also called disease-free period, which can be as short as several months and as long as several years. It varies from person to person. At this time, patients seldom see a doctor, so it is difficult to find it clinically. So what are the symptoms of early liver cancer?

Symptoms of early liver cancer

First, fatigue. Fatigue is not only the most common symptom of liver cancer, but also the most easily overlooked symptom of most people. According to a relatively professional analysis of symptom groups, fatigue ranked the first in the incidence of symptoms of liver cancer patients, with an incidence rate of 74.9%. The severity score and distress of patients ranked the first. Therefore, for unexplained fatigue, should maintain a high degree of vigilance and timely inspection.

Second, nausea, abdominal distension and abdominal pain are not all "stomach" problems. Stomachache and epigastric pain is a symptom that many people suffer from, but they don't take it seriously. Some of them have mild dyspepsia and other symptoms, such as epigastric pain and discomfort, mild fullness, pain, nausea, belching, etc. these symptoms are not unique to liver cancer, and can be seen in chronic body inflammation, ulcer disease, functional dyspepsia, and even normal people occasionally.

Third, fever and Hypohidrosis. Frequent hyperhidrosis and Hypohidrosis ranked sixth in the statistical symptoms. It may be accompanied by low fever. Huge liver cancer may have high fever due to central ischemia and necrosis, which is characterized by ineffective treatment with antibiotics. The possibility of liver cancer should be considered in case of persistent low fever, hyperhidrosis or high fever and ineffective antibiotic treatment.

Hepatitis B virus carriers, liver cirrhosis patients, long-term alcoholics, slightly elevated alpha fetoprotein, belong to the high-risk groups of liver cancer, even if there are no symptoms, they should be checked every three months.
