summary

My aunt always felt something blocking her throat. She often felt uncomfortable even when she drank water. Eating also affected her throat. She took some medicine, but her symptoms didn't relieve at all. Later, she went to check and found that she had esophageal cancer. Many patients didn't find it at the beginning, but they found that it was in the late stage. Now most of my friends have an early understanding of esophageal cancer I don't know about the middle and late stage symptoms, so now I will tell you the symptoms of esophageal cancer.

Symptoms of early, middle and advanced esophageal cancer

First of all, esophageal cancer can also be felt at the beginning. The foreign body sensation in the esophagus is mostly consistent with esophageal lesions. With the development of the disease, choking and even pain appear one after another. The cause of this symptom may be the congestion and swelling of the mucosa at the lesion site of the esophagus, which leads to the decrease of the stimulation threshold of the submucosal plexus of the esophagus.

Secondly, when suffering from esophageal cancer, there will be abnormalities when eating. After swallowing food through slow and stagnant feeling, the food will go down slowly and stagnant feeling. The upper and middle parts of esophagus were the most common sites, which were mild at the beginning and aggravated gradually, accompanied by other symptoms. The mechanism may be mainly functional changes, or it may be due to the wide "canceration field" of esophageal cancer and chronic inflammation of esophageal mucosa.

Finally, with the development of esophageal cancer, the nature of retrosternal pain, stuffy discomfort or pharyngeal pain may be burning like, acupuncture like or traction friction like pain. At the initial stage, the symptoms are mild, and only intermittently, each time may be very short, and may be relieved by drug treatment. Later, the symptoms worsened, repeated attacks and prolonged duration.
