What symptom does esophagus cancer have

summary

My grandmother suffered from esophageal cancer. At the beginning, she often had a foreign body sensation in her throat.

Today, I'd like to share with you about the symptoms of esophageal cancer.

Symptom 2: foreign body sensation when swallowing food. In the process of swallowing, food (especially dry and hard food) passing through the lesion area (the lesion is very small) may produce a foreign body feeling, which is often fixed in a part. Some patients describe it as having the feeling of never swallowing.
