summary

Esophageal cancer and other malignant tumors, early treatment is very important, the early characteristics are very obvious, my grandfather was often dry throat, chest tightness, when eating a foreign body feeling, fortunately found in time. Let's take a look at the early symptoms of esophageal cancer.

What are the early symptoms of esophageal cancer

One: dry throat, chest tightness, obstruction, eating worse, generally speaking, the initial stage of esophageal cancer, patients will not feel uncomfortable. With the growth of the tumor in the esophagus, there will be a sense of tightness or swelling in the chest, and often accompanied by a sense of dryness in the throat. Patients always have a stuffy feeling in front of their chest, which seems to be blocked by an object, making their chest feel tight. This kind of blocking feeling is particularly obvious when swallowing food. Because this feeling only occurs when eating, it is easy to be ignored because it has no obvious impact on normal life and work.

Second: foreign body sensation when eating, aggravating when the throat is dry and hard food, patients often have foreign body sensation when swallowing food at the initial stage. In the process of swallowing, the food (especially the dry and hard food) passes through the lesion area (the tumor lesion is very small) to produce a sense of foreign body, and this sense of foreign body is always fixed in a certain part, just like something can never be swallowed. Because the symptoms are mild and intermittent, it is easy to be neglected by patients.

Third: intermittent sternal distension and slight pain. Some patients consciously felt intermittent sternal distension and slight pain. This kind of symptom is not persistent, but mostly intermittently or aggravates after fatigue and fast eating. This is because the esophagus itself at any time in peristalsis, only when peristalsis to the lesion site will appear symptoms.
