What are the symptoms of early stage of liver cancer? What to pay attention to in diet

  We in China have one of the highest incidence and highest number of deaths from liver cancer in the world, with 55% of the world’s patients suffering from liver cancer. The WHO has also projected that about 10 million people will die from cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer between 2015 and 2030. One of the major reasons for the high death rate of liver cancer is that liver cancer is relatively insidious and most of the early symptoms of liver cancer are not easily detectable.  So, what are the early symptoms of liver cancer?  1.Pain in liver area: Most patients with middle and late stage liver cancer have pain in liver area as the first symptom, and the incidence rate is over 50%.  2.Gastrointestinal symptoms: decreased appetite, epigastric fullness after meals. Ambiguous gas, indigestion and nausea are common digestive tract symptoms of liver cancer, among which loss of appetite and abdominal distension are the most common.  3.Fever: A considerable number of liver cancer patients will have sweating and fever. Most of the fever is low to moderate fever, while a few patients may have high fever, above 39℃, usually not accompanied by chills.  4.Lethargy and weakness: Patients with liver cancer often feel more weak than patients with other tumors, which is similar to patients with chronic hepatitis.  5. Bleeding tendency: Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma often have bleeding tendency such as gum bleeding and subcutaneous bruises, which is mainly due to impaired liver function and abnormal coagulation function.
