Hepatitis B liver cancer early symptoms?
Symptom 1: liver pain is the first symptom in most patients with advanced liver cancer, with an incidence of more than 50%. Pain in the liver region is usually located in the right rib or under the xiphoid process. The nature of pain is intermittent or persistent dull pain. Dull pain or tingling, a period of time before the pain, patients can feel discomfort in the right upper abdomen. Pain can be mild to severe or self relieving in a short time. The main cause of pain is the rapid enlargement of the tumor, compression of the liver capsule, resulting in traction pain. It can also be caused by the tumor necrosis stimulating the liver capsule. A small number of patients spontaneously or after liver puncture suddenly appeared severe pain in the liver region, mostly due to rupture and bleeding of cancer nodules on the surface of the liver. If accompanied by blood pressure, shock performance, abdominal puncture with bloody fluid, it means that the cancer node rupture bleeding serious. In this case, emergency rescue is needed. If there is no such concomitant symptoms and the pain is limited, it indicates that the bleeding is located under the liver capsule. The pain may vary according to the location of the tumor. Tumors located in the left lobe often cause pain in the middle and upper abdomen; For the tumor located in the right lobe, the pain was in the right intercostal region; When the tumor involved the transverse septum, the pain radiated to the right shoulder or back, which was easily mistaken for shoulder arthritis; When the tumor is located in the posterior part of the right lobe, it can sometimes cause low back pain; If the tumor is located in the deep part of liver parenchyma, pain is seldom felt.

Portal hypertension and intestinal dysfunction caused by tumor thrombus in portal vein or hepatic vein can lead to abdominal distension and increased frequency of defecation. Abdominal distension can also be caused by ascites. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can also lead to dyspepsia, warm, nausea and other symptoms.
Symptom 3: fever, a considerable number of liver cancer patients will appear sweating, fever. Most of the fever is low fever, a few patients can be high fever, above 39 ℃, generally without shivering. The fever of liver cancer is mostly cancerous fever, which is caused by the release of pyrogen into the blood circulation after tumor necrosis. Because of the low resistance, tumor patients are easy to be infected and have fever. Sometimes it is not easy to distinguish cancer fever from cancer fever of liver cancer. It is necessary to combine blood picture and observe whether antibacterial treatment is effective.
