How to distinguish advanced and early esophageal cancer

summary

My father's friends usually have a lot of social activities, eat irregularly, and drink a lot, which leads to his esophagus damaged by strong wind. When I went to check, I found that he had esophageal cancer, which is already advanced. It's a pity. Next, I'd like to popularize how to distinguish between advanced esophageal cancer and early esophageal cancer.

How to distinguish advanced and early esophageal cancer

First, the clear distinction between esophageal cancer and benign esophageal tumor is conducive to the early diagnosis of esophageal cancer. Clinically, some benign esophageal tumors and esophageal cancer have very similar symptoms. Take esophageal leiomyoma as an example, with the continuous development of tumor, patients will also have different degrees of dysphagia, vomiting, weight loss and other clinical symptoms.

Second, the common esophageal benign tumors can be divided into intraluminal type, submucosal type and intramural type. Intraluminal type includes benign polyps and papilloma; submucosal type includes hemangioma and granulosa cell myoblastoma; intramural type is esophageal leiomyoma.

Third: esophageal cancer and benign esophageal tumor need X-ray and endoscopy to make the diagnosis, X-ray barium meal examination of esophageal cancer: X-ray signs of early esophageal cancer are limited mucosal fold thickening and rupture, or esophageal edge burr, small filling defect, small ulcer niche. Local esophageal wall stiffness or barium retention were mostly filling defects, lumen stenosis, disappearance of peristalsis, mucosal disorders, or obstruction.

matters needing attention

It's obvious that advanced and early esophageal cancer can be distinguished in this way. However, no matter it's early or late, we should actively treat it. Usually, we should pay more attention to diet, otherwise it is easy to cause other complications.
