Symptoms of esophageal cancer

summary

Not long ago, my uncle found out that he suffered from esophageal cancer. In his daily life, he often had symptoms of foreign body sensation in his throat. When he went to the hospital, he found that it was a disease with symptoms of esophageal cancer. I think you also want to know about the symptoms of esophageal cancer.

Symptoms of esophageal cancer

Symptom 1: Generally speaking, in the initial stage of esophageal cancer, patients will not feel uncomfortable. With the growth of the tumor in the esophagus, the chest will appear a sense of tightness or distension, and often accompanied by a sense of dryness in the throat. Patients always feel stuffy in the front of the chest.

Symptom 2: the patient often has a foreign body feeling when swallowing food in the early stage. In the process of swallowing, food (especially dry and hard food) passes through the lesion area (the tumor lesion is very small) and produces a foreign body sensation, which is always fixed in a certain part.

Symptom 3: some patients felt intermittent swelling or slight pain after sternum. This kind of symptom is not persistent, but mostly intermittently or aggravates after fatigue and fast eating. This is because the esophagus itself at any time in peristalsis, only when peristalsis to the lesion site will appear symptoms.

matters needing attention

Esophageal cancer patients should have a positive and optimistic attitude to face and treat this disease. It seems that there is an object blocking, which makes the chest feel tight. This blocking feeling is particularly obvious when swallowing food. Because this feeling only occurs when eating, it does not affect the normal life and work, so it is easy to be ignored.
