summary

My grandfather suffered from esophageal cancer for some reasons. Now he is getting older and more serious. The doctor said that he is in advanced stage of esophageal cancer, and his life may be in danger at any time. Next, I will talk about the symptoms of esophageal cancer one day before death.

What is the symptom like the day before esophagus cancer dies

First, it is mostly caused by compression and complications, and lymphatic and hematogenous metastasis can occur. If there is ulcer, inflammation or tumor invasion in the diseased esophageal segment, it will produce persistent hidden pain in the back or sternum. If the pain is severe and accompanied by fever, we should be alert whether the tumor has been perforated or is about to be perforated.

Second: obstruction: severe cases are often accompanied by reflux and continuous mucus vomiting, which is caused by the increased secretion of esophageal and salivary glands caused by the infiltration and inflammation of esophageal cancer. Mucus accumulation in the esophagus can reflux, causing cough and even aspiration pneumonia. Persistent pure pain curtain in the posterior sternum or back interscapular area does not lead to esophageal cancer extravasation, causing periesophagitis and mediastinitis, but it can also be caused by deep esophageal ulcer caused by tumor. Pain caused by lower thoracic or cardiac tumors can occur in the upper abdomen.

Third, the patients with severe pain, inability to fall asleep or fever are not only less likely to be resected, but also more likely to have tumor perforation. Hoarseness is often caused by tumor invasion or metastatic lymph node compression of recurrent laryngeal nerve, but sometimes it can also be caused by laryngitis caused by aspiration inflammation. Indirect laryngoscopy is helpful to identify hoarseness.
