Did you know ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ is one of the fastest-rising causes of cancer death in the UK? ๐๏ธ
While it may not get as much attention as other cancers, awareness can make all the difference. Each year in the UK, around ๐ฒ,๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฌ people are diagnosed with liver cancer, or ๐ญ๐ฒ people a day, and rates have more than doubled over the last couple of decades.
The liver is a resilient organ, so symptoms often donโt appear until later stages. However, recognising the warning signs can be life-saving.

- Unexplained weight loss
- Loss of appetite or feeling full after a small meal
- Nausea or vomiting
- Pain in the upper right abdomen or near the right shoulder blade
- Swelling or fluid build-up in the abdomen
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
These symptoms can have many causes, but persistent changes in your health should always be discussed with your GP. Early detection is key. Finding liver cancer early opens up more treatment options and improves the chance of a better outcome.
If you have risk factors like chronic hepatitis B or C, liver cirrhosis, or a family history of liver conditions, stay vigilant and donโt hesitate to reach out to your doctor if you notice any concerns.
