The symptoms for both primary and secondary liver cancer are similar. Liver cancers often do not produce symptoms for some time during their growth. However, symptoms, when they do appear, may include:
• Jaundice — a yellowing of the skin and eyes.
• Dark-coloured urine and pale stools.
• Swelling in the abdomen caused by fluid build-up (called ascites).
• Abdominal pain that may vary in intensity, especially pain over the liver.
• Loss of appetite.
• Weight loss.
• Weakness and tiredness.
• Nausea and occasional vomiting.
• Pain around the right shoulder blade.
• Fevers.
