Liver cancer

Signs and symptoms of liver cancer

Symptoms of liver cancer are often vague and don't appear until the cancer is at an advanced stage. They can include:

• unexplained weight loss;
• loss of appetite;
• feeling very full after eating, even if the meal was small;
• feeling sick and vomiting;
• pain or swelling in your abdomen (tummy);
• jaundice (yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes);
• itchy skin;
• feeling very tired and weak.

Visit your GP if you notice any of the symptoms listed above. Although they are more likely to be the result of a more common condition, such as an infection, it's best to have them checked.
