Advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer?

Dysphagia and progressive dysphagia are the main symptoms of most patients, but they are the late manifestations of the disease. Because the esophageal wall is elastic and expansible, dysphagia occurs only when about 2 / 3 of the circumference of the esophagus is infiltrated by the cancer. Therefore, after the early symptoms, the disease gradually worsened within a few months, from unable to swallow solid food to unable to swallow liquid food.

Food reaction often occurs when dysphagia worsens, the reflux is not large, containing food and mucus, but also blood and pus. Such as cancer with esophageal wall inflammation, edema, spasm, etc., can aggravate dysphagia. The location of obstruction is often consistent with the location of hand cancer.

Other symptoms: when the recurrent laryngeal nerve is compressed by the cancer, hoarseness may be caused; when the phrenic nerve is invaded, Hiccup or phrenic nerve paralysis may be caused; when the trachea or bronchus is compressed, shortness of breath and dry cough may occur; when the aorta is eroded, fatal bleeding may occur. When esophago tracheal or esophago bronchial fistulas or cancer located in the upper part of the esophagus, swallowing liquid can often produce cervical sympathetic paralysis syndrome.
