What symptom does esophagus cancer have

Symptom 1: in the early stage of esophageal cancer, local lesions are relatively early, and the symptoms may be caused by abnormal esophageal peristalsis or spasm caused by local lesions stimulating the esophagus, or by local inflammation, tumor infiltration, esophageal mucosal erosion and superficial ulcer.

Symptom 2: the early symptoms are generally mild, lasting for a short time, often repeated, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, with or without symptomatic intermission. The main symptoms are discomfort, burning or pain behind the sternum, and foreign body sensation or friction sensation when food passes through.

Symptom 3: sometimes when swallowing food, there is a sense of stagnation or mild obstruction in a certain part, and the back of sternum is stuffy or painful, which may be the stimulation of peripheral lesions, abnormal esophageal peristalsis or spasm. Or local inflammation, erosion, superficial ulcer caused by these symptoms can occur repeatedly, intermittent period can be asymptomatic.
