Is belching an early symptom of esophageal cancer

First of all: belching is an early symptom of esophageal cancer. Generally speaking, in the initial stage of esophageal cancer, patients will not feel uncomfortable. With the growth of the tumor in the esophagus, there will be a sense of tightness or swelling in the chest, and often accompanied by a sense of dryness in the throat.

Secondly: the patient always has a stuffy feeling in the front of the chest, which seems to be blocked by an object, making 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.

Finally: patients often have the feeling of foreign body 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.

Patients with esophageal cancer had better eat some liquid food and nutritious food. Some patients felt intermittent poststernal distension or slight pain, most of which were intermittent or aggravated 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.
