Symptoms

Early liver cancer often doesn't cause symptoms. When the cancer grows larger, people may notice one or more of these common symptoms:

• Pain in the upper abdomen on the right side
• A lump or a feeling of heaviness in the upper abdomen
• Swollen abdomen (bloating)
• Loss of appetite and feelings of fullness
• Weight loss
• Weakness or feeling very tired
• Nausea and vomiting
• Yellow skin and eyes, pale stools, and dark urine from jaundice
• Fever

These symptoms may be caused by liver cancer or other health problems. If you have any of these symptoms, you should tell your doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
