Liver Cancer

Symptoms

Liver cancer is sometimes called a "silent disease" because in an early stage there are often no symptoms of liver cancer present. But, as the cancer grows, possible liver cancer symptoms may include:

  • Pain in the upper abdomen on the right side; the pain may extend to the back and shoulder

  • Swollen abdomen (bloating)

  • Weight loss

  • Loss of appetite and feelings of fullness

  • Weakness or feeling very tired

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Yellow skin and eyes, and dark urine from jaundice

  • Fever

These possible liver cancer symptoms are not sure signs of liver cancer. Other liver diseases and other health problems can also cause these symptoms. Anyone experiencing these potential liver cancer symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible. Only a doctor can diagnose and treat the problem.
