What department should esophageal cancer be examined

summary

A few days ago, I went to dinner with a better colleague. My colleague always couldn't swallow, and his abdomen was not very comfortable. I felt a lot of pain. Later, I learned about esophageal cancer, but I still had to make a diagnosis. Now let's find out what department is responsible for esophageal cancer.

What department should esophageal cancer be examined

First: there is a sense of retention and foreign body when eating food. When the patient swallows food or drinks water, he has the feeling of food descending slowly and staying, as well as the feeling of tightness behind the sternum or food adhering to the esophageal wall, which disappears after eating. The location of symptoms was consistent with the location of esophageal lesions. And this sense of food retention is persistent, not only in one meal, but not in another meal.

The second is the discomfort of tightness and distension behind the sternum, anterior pain and gasping. These symptoms only occur in a small number of patients with esophageal cancer. But it can also be used as the basis for the diagnosis of esophageal cancer. The choking sensation of swallowing is frequent. Pharyngeal choking is a common symptom of esophageal cancer patients, but because the symptom occurs in the early stage of esophageal cancer, and the symptoms can be alleviated by themselves, it is not easy to be considered as a sign of esophageal cancer. Therefore, this symptom of esophageal cancer is often ignored.

Third: esophageal cancer should come to the oncology department for examination and treatment. Examination of esophageal cancer: B-ultrasound examination: esophageal cavity B-ultrasound scanning, for the location of esophageal cancer, size, relationship with the surrounding, the depth of cancer invasion of the esophagus and nearby lymph nodes can show clearly, which is helpful to the early diagnosis of esophageal cancer. Barium meal examination: generally standing position, left and right oblique multi axis fluoroscopy observation, middle and advanced patients often have positive results of esophageal cancer.
