What are the sequelae of esophageal cancer

Esophageal cancer is closely related to people's eating habits. This disease is relatively hidden and the early symptoms are not very obvious, so it is easy to lead to further aggravation of the disease and attract widespread attention to the disease. We must know its harmfulness and do a good job of prevention in daily life.

The harm of esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is a common tumor disease in clinical practice. It can be cured in the early stage, but because the early symptoms are not obvious, it is easy to die in the middle and late stages once it is discovered, which increases a lot of harm. So what are the harms of esophageal cancer?

The dangers of esophageal cancer:

1. When patients with esophageal cancer feel choked when eating, they should not force themselves to swallow, otherwise it will stimulate bleeding, spread, metastasis and pain in local cancer tissue. 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 may have perforation, gradually develop into inability to eat, gradually lose weight, 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.

2. Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor that tends to occur in the cervical, thoracic, and abdominal segments of the esophagus. The symptoms of esophageal cancer are directly related to the length of the disease. The harm of esophageal cancer can make patients feel uncomfortable when swallowing food, with symptoms such as choking and swallowing pain. Experts point out that for early and mid-stage esophageal cancer patients who have been clinically diagnosed, they should eat more soft or semi-liquid food with high protein and vitamin content, and use the gastrointestinal absorption function to supplement nutrition as much as possible, so as to facilitate future surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

3. The harm of esophageal cancer can easily cause esophageal spasm, which can lead to nausea, vomiting, pain and numbness. If the patient is completely unable to eat, intravenous nutrition should be used to feed the gastroenterostomy tube to maintain the body needs of the patient. Nursing staff should pay special attention to this and be more careful and considerate of the patient's diet.

Through the above introduction, I believe you have a certain understanding of the harm of esophageal cancer. Everyone must pay attention to it and learn more about esophageal cancer so as to detect esophageal cancer in time and avoid the harm of esophageal cancer.

Esophageal cancer can be greatly beneficial to the patient's body through effective clinical treatment in life. However, since the esophagus directly contacts our food, the healing process is still relatively long. Only through careful and scientific conditioning can we avoid the harm of the disease.
