5 Warning Symptoms of Liver Cancer

Cancer can damage any organ, including the liver. It can sometimes progress very slowly without letting the patient know that something is wrong.

Cancer can damage any organ, including the liver. It can sometimes progress very slowly without letting the patient know that something is wrong.

However, sooner or later the first warning signs appear and inform that something is wrong. Here are the symptoms of liver cancer:

1. Weight Loss

Unexplained weight loss is one of the most common symptoms of a damaged liver. This happens to approximately 40% of patients. If the person does not work out much, does not change his usual menu and does not follow any particular diet for weight loss, then it might be a sign of a serious health issue.

It might all start with an initial loss in appetite. Some experience periodic nausea. Cancer is one of the diseases that cause changes in the metabolism. The body starts burning lots of calories trying to fight the damaged cells. If this is happening to you, we suggest you should see a specialist.

2. Pain in the Right Side

Pay attention to what you feel in the right side of your upper abdomen. If liver cancer is still at its early stage, the person might not feel any kind of discomfort. As the disease develops and progresses, the tumor starts growing which causes pain and pressure in the upper abdominal area. Some patients feel referred pain in the right shoulder blade. This happens when the organ starts to press on the nerves. The discomfort may be sporadic or constant. If the liver presses on the diaphragm, you may start hiccupping.
