Liver Cancer: Symptoms, Signs & Early Detection

Early liver cancer usually does not cause any signs or symptoms. As a result, it's often diagnosed at an advanced stage, when treatment options may be limited.

Signs and symptoms of liver cancer can include:

* Abdominal pain

* Unexplained weight loss

* Lack of appetite

* Fatigue

* Nausea and vomiting

* Swelling or fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites)

* Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)

* Itchy skin

* Dark urine

* Light-colored stools

* Fever

If you experience any of these signs and symptoms, it's important to see your doctor right away. Liver cancer can be treated successfully if it's diagnosed early.
