What are the symptoms of esophageal cancer liver metastasis

Esophageal cancer is a disease that is prone to metastasis. However, liver metastasis is rare. However, clinically, esophageal cancer metastasizes to the liver through lymph nodes and blood. At this time, in addition to the symptoms of dysphagia and choking when eating, it is often accompanied by upper abdominal pain and fever in the liver area. The following are the symptoms of liver metastasis of esophageal cancer.

1. Upper abdominal pain: It usually occurs in the left hypochondrium and may be manifested as dull pain or dull pain;

2. Gastrointestinal symptoms occur: loss of appetite, upper abdominal fullness after meals, or even nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

3. Fever: The body temperature is generally around 37.5℃~38℃, with irregular fever, often without chills.

In addition, patients may also experience symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue, ascites, edema, gingival and nose bleeding, and subcutaneous ecchymosis.

The metastasis of esophageal cancer to the liver will not only greatly increase the difficulty of treatment, but also have a poor prognosis. The main methods for treating esophageal cancer liver metastasis in clinical practice include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Among them, traditional Chinese medicine has a significant effect in treating esophageal cancer liver metastasis, which can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of esophageal cancer patients, improve the quality of life of patients, and ultimately achieve the purpose of prolonging survival.
