After eating dry food, especially after swallowing repeatedly, I sometimes feel that I can't finish swallowing. Let me talk about the diagnosis of esophageal cancer.

Diagnosis of esophageal cancer

First of all: there are many ways to check esophageal cancer. In the examination methods of esophageal cancer, the location and scope of esophageal lesions are directly observed by endoscopy. Generally, the diagnosis is made by taking out the cells or part of the tissue in the lesion area of esophageal wall by endoscopy.

Secondly, there is another kind of examination that requires patients to drink barium developer. Barium developer can adhere to the surface of esophagus in our body and show the degree and lesion of esophageal obstruction by X-ray. So we can show it effectively.

Finally: esophageal cancer can also choose to use chest X-ray, computed tomography, abdominal ultrasound, positron emission tomography and a series of methods to assess whether our body's esophageal cancer has metastasized.
