What harm does esophageal cancer do to people around you

Esophageal cancer has a high incidence rate in my country, mainly because people in today's society generally do not pay attention to food hygiene. Eating food containing bacteria results in the epithelial tissue on the surface of the esophagus becoming cancerous, causing esophageal cancer. When a person is diagnosed with esophageal cancer, they should receive treatment in time. So what harm will esophageal cancer bring to patients?

1. Esophageal cancer may metastasize and spread, threatening the health of other organs. This is a more serious type of harm caused by esophageal cancer. As the tumor continues to infiltrate, cancer cells may spread to the esophageal wall. After exceeding its range, it may continue to invade the adjacent tissues and organs. If the tumor is the same as the aorta, once it ruptures, it will cause the patient's death. This shows the harmfulness of esophageal cancer complications. In addition, cancer cells will continue to spread and metastasize, causing serious damage to other tissues and organs.

2. When you have esophageal cancer, it often becomes difficult to eat. If you force swallowing at this time, it will stimulate local cancer tissue bleeding, spread, metastasis and pain. This is one of the harmful manifestations of esophageal cancer. Severe esophageal cancer patients will feel chest and back pain or accompanied by fever, rapid heart rate and increased blood sugar. Patients with these symptoms of esophageal cancer are likely to have perforations, gradually develop to the point where they cannot eat, their physique gradually becomes thin, and patients experience fatigue, difficulty in movement, anemia, and gradually become unable to take care of themselves. These are all due to the harm of esophageal cancer.

3. In the late stage of esophageal cancer, patients will have difficulty swallowing and a sense of obstruction. This is because the esophageal wall is elastic and has the ability to expand. Difficulty swallowing only occurs when about 2/3 of the circumference of the esophagus is infiltrated by the tumor. Therefore, after the above early symptoms appear, the condition gradually worsens within a few months, from being unable to swallow solid food to being unable to swallow liquid food. If the tumor is accompanied by inflammation, edema, spasm, etc. of the esophageal wall, difficulty swallowing may be aggravated.
