Early symptoms of esophageal cancer

Symptom 1: Generally speaking, in 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.

Symptom 2: the patient always has a stuffy feeling in the front of the chest, which seems to be blocked by an object, making the chest feel tight. This kind of blocking feeling is particularly obvious when swallowing food. Because this feeling only occurs when eating, it does not affect the normal life and work, so it is easy to be ignored.

Symptom 3: in the process of swallowing, food (especially dry and hard food) passes through the lesion area (tumor lesions are very small) to produce a foreign body feeling, and this foreign body feeling is always fixed in a certain part, just like something can never be swallowed.

matters needing attention

Some of the patients felt intermittent poststernal distension or 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.
