This symptom may occur in more than 50% of patients and the nature of the pain may vary depending on the tumor's location. 2. **Gastrointestinal symptoms**: Liver cancer can impair digestive function, leading to symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Among these, loss of appetite and abdominal distension are the most common. 3. **Jaundice**: Due to liver cell damage or tumor compression of the bile duct, patients may develop jaundice,表现为 (manifested as) yellowing of the sclera or skin. 4. **Systemic symptoms**: Patients with intermediate and advanced liver cancer often experience weight loss, fatigue, and malnutrition. Fever, usually low or moderate grade, may also occur. The appearance of these symptoms indicates that liver cancer has progressed to an intermediate or advanced stage. Patients should seek medical attention promptly and receive professional treatment.
