Most patients with primary liver cancer do not have obvious clinical symptoms in the early stages. A minority of patients may experience persistent dull or distending pain in the liver area. Some patients may also have gastrointestinal symptoms, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. As the disease progresses, systemic manifestations of malignant tumors may appear, including progressive fatigue, weight loss, and fever.
