What are the common symptoms of liver cancer?
People with liver cancer often do not have any symptoms. However, you may notice new or worsening symptoms over time. Note that just because you may have these symptoms, it doesn’t mean you have liver cancer.
These liver cancer symptoms may include:
- A hard lump or fullness on your right side just below the rib cage
- Discomfort in your upper abdomen on the right side
- A swollen abdomen
- Pain near your right shoulder blade or in your back
- Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)
- Itchy skin
- Unusual tiredness or fatigue
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite and weight loss
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to tell your doctor. They can help determine whether it is liver cancer or another condition.
