Dysphagia: ① dysphagia symptoms of patients with constrictive esophageal cancer are most obvious and typical. ② Most patients with ulcerative esophageal cancer have no significant dysphagia. Even if the course of disease develops from advanced stage to advanced stage, patients may not have significant dysphagia.

③ The symptoms of dysphagia were not obvious before the tumor completely blocked the lumen or most of the lumen. ④ The majority of patients with medullary esophageal cancer have severe dysphagia symptoms. Sometimes, the tumor size is reduced due to the necrosis and shedding of cancer tissue. Dysphagia symptoms can be temporarily relieved, but the symptoms recur soon after.

⑤ Dysphagia aggravated with the aggravation of congestion, edema and inflammation in the proximal esophageal mucosa of esophageal cancer. Dysphagia was relieved when it was alleviated or subsided.
