Advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer

summary

About half a month, the throat is always blocked badly. It's hard to swallow when eating. Even if you chew very fine, it's also hard to swallow. It's even worse if you eat hard food. I believe many people don't know the advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer. Let me introduce them to you.

Advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer

First, early esophageal cancer often has no obvious symptoms, only feeling uncomfortable. With the development of the disease, there are progressive dysphagia, first difficult to swallow dry food, then semi liquid food, and finally water and saliva can not be swallowed. Often spit mucoid sputum, saliva for the hypopharynx and esophageal secretions. The patient gradually became thin, dehydrated and weak. Persistent chest or back pain is an advanced symptom, and the cancer has invaded extra esophageal tissue.

Second, there is no absolute index for the early, middle and late stages of esophageal cancer. It is generally believed that there are no clinical symptoms and occasionally found in the examination is early; there are clinical symptoms such as dysphagia, eating obstruction is in the middle stage; lymphatic or blood metastasis is in the late stage.

Third: the early symptoms are often not obvious, but when swallowing coarse and hard food, there may be different degrees of discomfort, including choking feeling of swallowing food, burning, needling or traction and friction pain behind the sternum. Food passes slowly with a sense of stagnation or foreign matter. Choking stagnation is usually relieved by swallowing water. The symptoms were mild and severe, and the progress was slow.

matters needing attention

Bad eating habits are an important inducement of esophageal cancer and other diseases. The prevention of esophageal cancer should start from eating habits. Should try to eat less hot food, the most typical is hot pot, should be taken out of food after appropriate cooling before eating. Refuse carcinogenic food, such as food with high nitrite content and mildew. The lack of protein will lead to esophageal mucosal hyperplasia, prone to malignant transformation.
