7 SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF  LIVER CANCER

 
1. Asymptomatic
For some people with liver cancer, no symptoms will be realized at all, even at the final stage of the disease.

However, it is also quite possible that people who experience symptoms so subtle that they never cause any alarm. It is not until a routine check that the condition is diagnosed.

2. Painful
One of the more common symptoms of liver cancer is a pain. Pain is usually isolated to the chest, but also can diffuse into neighboring areas of the body. When the tumor grows, especially along the wall of the pericardium, can cause fluid to accumulate in the pericardial sac, which is a protective layer that surrounds the heart. Over time, the liquid can affect the way the heart pumps blood and actually ask for some degree of chest pain.

3. Asphyxiate
As the overall function of the heart is affected by the growth of cancer cells, may eventually take a toll on blood circulation, limiting the amount of oxygen through the entire body. With the reduction of elements in the system, respiration may be altered, triggering shortness of breath or feeling a sensation described tele. If this condition continues, the person may become more easily tired or exhausted, not only from a very physical labor, but also day-to-day activities. 

4. Palpitations
It's also not uncommon to suffer from heart palpitations periodically during life with cardiac sarcomas.

6. Blow
Although not necessarily as common as other symptoms of this condition, people may also suffer from a stroke due to a cardiac sarcoma. In this situation, the actual symptoms are the result of a portion of tumor escape from himself and created a blockage in blood vessels that carry blood to the brain. This limits the passage of blood, oxygen and nutrients to this area of ​​the body, causing the brain to react in this way.

7. Other symptoms
Other symptoms include loss of appetite, weakness and weight loss (particularly loss of muscle in the arms and legs), nausea, fever and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes). Stomach can also become swollen.

In later stages, liver cancer can cause pain in the upper abdomen or back. Since there are no nerves through the heart it means the pain is not felt in the heart but in the surrounding area due to distension, irritation or inflammation of the liver.
