The most common symptoms of liver cancer are from a massive tumor growing in the liver. 
 
Pain in the right upper abdominal area caused by stretching of the liver's capsule, which is rich in nerves. 
 
Weight Loss and loss of appetite; the liver is a digestive organ. 
 
Blood clotting problems leading to intestinal bleeding and bruises on the skin. 
 
Fatigue and eventually coma from buildup of ammonia in the body. 
 
Swelling of the abdomen from the liver failing to produce the protein required to hold the blood's fluid in the blood vessels, so it migrates out to fill the abdomen, scrotum and limbs.

    Liver cancer is a disease involving uncontrolled growth of cells within the liver. Cancer in the liver may be primary or secondary, also called metastatic. Primary cancer arises within the liver and in its early stages exists only within the liver. People who have hepatitis B or C, viral infections of the liver, or cirrhosis of the liver are more likely than other people to develop primary liver cancer. At an early stage primary liver cancer may cause no symptoms at all. More advanced disease may cause loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, fatigue and weakness.
