The difference between the five early symptoms of cardia cancer and other stomach cancer symptoms

Cardiac cancer is also a type of gastric cancer, so the early symptoms of cardiac cancer are also like other gastric cancers, which are relatively hidden and often difficult to detect. Unlike other gastric cancers, the early symptoms of cardiac cancer also have some special features and need to be carefully observed.

1. Fullness and slight pain in the pit of the stomach, under the xiphoid process or in the upper abdomen, which is more obvious when eating dry food, but it does not happen every time and is intermittent. This situation is often an early symptom of cardiac cancer.

2. Chest tightness or constriction, often accompanied by a dry throat. The patient complains of a stuffy feeling in the chest, as if there is an object blocking it, which makes the chest feel tight, especially when swallowing food, but does not affect normal life and work.

3. Foreign body sensation when swallowing food. During swallowing, food (especially dry and hard food) may feel like a foreign body when it passes through the lesion area (the lesion is very small), and it is often fixed in one place. Some patients describe it as a feeling of never being able to swallow everything. Because the symptoms are mild and occur intermittently, it is easy for patients to ignore it.

4. Swallowing stagnation or frustration, that is, the patient seems to have a temporary stagnation or frustration in a certain part when swallowing food. This situation is not continuous and only becomes gradually obvious after the disease develops.

5. Distension or slight pain behind the sternum. This symptom does not occur continuously, but is intermittent or aggravated after fatigue or when eating quickly. This is the most common early symptom of cardia cancer.

Through the above introduction, I hope everyone has some understanding of the early symptoms of cardia cancer. Knowing the early symptoms of cardia cancer can help to detect the occurrence of cancer early. Then, as long as relevant examinations are carried out and treatment is actively carried out, cardia cancer can still be cured.
