summary

In the early stage of liver cancer, many people will feel uncomfortable with the liver, but there are no obvious symptoms, so they did not go to see a doctor. My uncle did not know it was liver cancer until his condition was serious. Let's talk about the early symptoms of liver cancer!

There are no symptoms in the early stage of liver cancer

Symptom 1: Patients with early liver cancer usually have pruritus in varying degrees on the skin, accompanied by jaundice. The cause of jaundice is that the cancer invades the main intrahepatic bile duct, and hilar lymph node metastasis oppresses the extrahepatic bile duct. With the severity of liver cancer, the patient's symptoms will become more and more severe. Ascites is caused by the patient's original liver cirrhosis, cancer tissue invading the vein and forming tumor thrombus, and tumor nodules compressing the portal vein.

Symptom 2: in addition, the patient's subcutaneous tissue will appear abnormal bleeding, in which nosebleed is the most common phenomenon, which is mostly caused by liver tissue damage and liver failure. Portal hypertension can cause esophageal and gastric varices bleeding. When cancer tissue invades the bile duct of hepatic hilum, it can also cause biliary bleeding.

Symptom 3: in addition to skin abnormalities, usually for patients with early liver cancer, most of them will also have obvious signs of indirect pain in the liver region, sometimes aggravated by body position changes. This phenomenon may be caused by bleeding to the abdominal cavity or necrosis of cancer nodules. At this time, patients often think it is an acute abdomen and go to the emergency room.
