Doctors reminded that the earlier liver cancer is diagnosed, the more effective its treatment is. Therefore, it is important to know about the initial signs of a dangerous illness. Unfortunately, the symptoms of liver cancer are often vague and do not appear until the cancer is at an advanced stage.
“One of the liver cancer warning signs to be aware of is related to skin conditions. This is itching, which is often an indirect result of jaundice, another common symptom of the disease, ”the doctors said.
Experts explain that jaundice means the accumulation of bile in the blood and body tissues, which occurs due to a blockage in the excretion system. Since it contains yellow pigments, the skin changes its color and also the whites of the eyes become yellowish. In addition, due to the increased concentration of bile, the skin begins to itch.
In addition to these initial signs, other warning signs may indicate possible liver cancer:
• unintentional weight loss,
• loss of appetite,
• feeling full after a small amount of food,
• pain or swelling in the abdomen,
• feeling very tired, weak.
“These signs may be a manifestation of less dangerous conditions, but it is better to check them with a doctor. First of all, this should be done by people who have had diseases affecting the liver in the past, such as cirrhosis or hepatitis, ”the doctors noted.
