1. Right upper quadrant pain
Persistent dull or distending pain in the right costal region, which may radiate to the right shoulder, caused by tumor growth stretching the hepatic capsule.
2. Gastrointestinal symptoms
Nonspecific manifestations such as anorexia, abdominal distension, and nausea, related to impaired liver function and gastrointestinal congestion.
3. Systemic fatigue
Progressively worsening fatigue that is difficult to relieve with rest, associated with tumor-related catabolism and inadequate nutritional intake.
4. Weight loss
Unexplained weight loss, sometimes accompanied by muscle wasting; cachexia in advanced disease indicates an unfavorable prognosis.
5. Jaundice
Yellowing of the skin and sclera, dark urine, and pale stools, due to impaired bilirubin metabolism.
6. Ascites
Abdominal distension with shifting dullness, caused by portal hypertension and hypoalbuminemia.
7. Fever
Often an irregular low-grade fever, due to pyrogen release from tumor necrosis or concomitant infection.
8. Bleeding tendency
Gingival or nasal bleeding and subcutaneous ecchymoses, due to reduced synthesis of coagulation factors from hepatic dysfunction.
Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine emphasizes that liver cancer poses a serious threat to human health, with poor outcomes and prognosis in advanced stages. Prevention and control require a comprehensive system: active prevention of hepatitis virus infection, regular surveillance for early detection and timely treatment, and stage-adapted individualized strategies incorporating surgery, ablation, interventional therapies, and targeted agents to substantially improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.
