What are the late-stage symptoms and manifestations of liver cancer?
Disease description:
I have a friend who has developed liver cancer, and I heard it's already in the advanced stage. What are the symptoms and manifestations of advanced liver cancer?

The symptoms and manifestations of advanced liver cancer are diverse and severe, mainly including:
1. Pain: Pain in the liver area is the most obvious symptom of advanced liver cancer. The severity and location of the pain vary depending on the tumor's position and size.
2. Abnormal liver function: Severe liver damage leads to jaundice, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension.
3. Ascites: Liver cancer invading the blood vessels of the liver causes ascites, leading to abdominal swelling, shortness of breath, and abdominal discomfort.
4. Weight loss: Tumor growth consumes large amounts of nutrients, causing significant weight loss.
5. Fatigue: Systemic damage caused by tumor growth and metastasis often leaves patients feeling weak and fatigued.
These symptoms significantly affect the patient's quality of life, and timely medical attention and cooperation with physicians for treatment are necessary.
