What are the early symptoms and manifestations of esophageal cancer

summary

Recently, a colleague said that when she felt that she was swallowing food, she felt uncomfortable in her throat. Some of her throat couldn't swallow, so she didn't want to eat, and she didn't know what was going on. She went to the hospital for examination, and the result was esophageal cancer. Now let me talk about the early symptoms and manifestations of esophageal cancer.

What are the early symptoms and manifestations of esophageal cancer

First: foreign body sensation when swallowing food. In the process of swallowing, especially when dry and hard food passes through the lesion area, it may produce a foreign body sensation, and it is often fixed in one part. Some patients describe it as having the feeling of never swallowing. Because the symptoms are mild and occur intermittently, it is also easy to be neglected by the patients.

Second, the symptoms of retrosternal distension or slight pain do not occur continuously, but intermittently or aggravate after tiredness and fast eating; this is because the esophagus itself is always peristaltic, and only when peristalsis reaches the lesion site, the symptoms of retrosternal distension will appear.

Third: heart socket, xiphoid or epigastric fullness and mild pain are more obvious when eating dry food, but they do not occur intermittently every time. The above early symptoms generally last for more than 3 months, but they are not early when they occur frequently, persistently and aggravate.

matters needing attention

Early detection and early control is the best choice for cancer treatment, but many patients often find the disease, the cancer has spread to the point that it is difficult to control, so we should pay attention to that it is necessary to go to the hospital regularly for physical examination, which can let us find the disease earlier and control it.
