Like many other types of cancer, liver cancer symptoms usually do not appear until the cancer has progressed past the early stages of the disease. As the cancer grows and the disease progresses, symptoms may begin to become more apparent. Possible liver cancer symptoms may include:
- Weight loss - Not associated with changes in your diet.
- Decrease in appetite - This can also be related to a feeling of fullness.
- Abdominal pain - Occurring in the upper abdomen on the right side.
- Nausea and vomiting - Not associated with other known conditions.
- Weakness and/or fatigue - Persistent, ongoing weakness or fatigue.
- Abdominal swelling - Bloating or swelling can occur as a mass forms.
- Jaundice - This is the yellowing of the skin and eyes. Jaundice occurs when the liver is not functioning properly. Jaundice may be a symptom of liver cancer, or a number of other conditions.
- Fever - Not related to other conditions.
These symptoms may be the result of liver cancer or other health problems. If you experience these possible liver cancer symptoms, it is important that you talk with your healthcare provider. He or she can help you evaluate your situation and decide if testing is needed to determine if your symptoms are the result of liver cancer or another condition.
