What are the symptoms of esophageal cancer

summary

Some time ago, my uncle found out that he suffered from esophageal cancer. For patients with esophageal cancer, early detection and early treatment should be done. The harm caused by esophageal cancer to patients is relatively serious. Now I will tell you about the symptoms of esophageal cancer, so as to facilitate you to find and treat this disease as soon as possible.

What are the symptoms of esophageal cancer

Symptom 1: choking when swallowing food. In the early stage of the disease, because the lesions often show local small-scale esophageal mucosal congestion, swelling, erosion, superficial ulcer and small plaque lesions, when food passes through, there will be discomfort or feeling of swallowing.

Symptom 2: there is a sense of foreign body in the esophagus. The patient feels that once he grazed the esophagus because he ate coarse food, or he suspected that he swallowed the foreign body by mistake and left it in the esophagus. There is something like rice or vegetable fragments sticking to the esophagus.

Symptom 3: there is a sense of dryness and urgency in the throat. I often feel that the food in the lower throat is not smooth, and I have slight pain, a bit of dryness and tightness. Especially when swallowing dry or coarse food, the feeling of dryness and tightness is more obvious.

matters needing attention

For patients with esophageal cancer, we should have a positive and optimistic attitude to face and treat this disease. The pain of swallowing food can be relieved or even disappeared after eating. Most of these symptoms can be treated with drugs, which can be relieved temporarily. But after a few days or months, the disease will recur and recur for a long time.
