Symptoms of Liver Cancer

Primary liver cancer is difficult to detect at an early stage because its early symptoms are usually vague. As with other types of cancer, this disease can cause a general feeling of poor health. Liver cancer can lead to loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, fatigue and weakness.
As the cancer grows, pain may be present in the upper abdomen on the right side and may extend to the back and shoulder. Some people may feel a mass in the upper abdomen. Liver cancer can also lead to abdominal swelling and a feeling of fullness or bloating. Some people have episodes of fever and nausea or develop jaundice, a condition in which the skin and whites of the eyes become yellow and the urine becomes dark.
It is important to note that these symptoms may be caused by primary or metastatic cancer in the liver, a benign (not cancerous) in the liver or other less serious conditions. Only a doctor can tell for sure.
