Cardiac cancer may generally cause weight loss and emaciation

Cardiac cancer may generally cause weight loss and emaciation, which is of course also caused by difficulty in eating. So what are the common symptoms of cardia cancer ? This question has been raised by many people, and the following is an introduction to this question.

The main symptoms of cardia cancer are as follows:

1. Bleeding: Patients with esophageal cancer and cardiac cancer may sometimes vomit blood or have bloody stools. The tumor can infiltrate large blood vessels and cause fatal bleeding. This is a symptom of cardiac cancer.

2. Foreign body sensation when swallowing food: During swallowing, food (especially dry and hard food) may feel like a foreign body when passing 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.

3. Pain: Continuous dull pain behind the sternum or in the scapular area of ​​the back indicates that the cancer has invaded the outside world and caused periesophageal mediastinitis. The pain caused by cardiac cancer can occur in the upper abdomen. The possibility of surgical resection is small. Attention should be paid to the possibility of tumor perforation, which is also a symptom of cardiac cancer.

4. Weight loss and emaciation: Due to difficulty in eating and increasingly poor nutrition, patients become thinner, but generally have an appetite. Once anorexia occurs, it is often a sign of widespread tumor metastasis.

5. Obstruction: Symptoms of cardia cancer also include continuous vomiting of mucus. This is because the infiltration and inflammation of esophageal cancer reflexively cause increased secretion of esophageal glands and salivary glands. Mucus accumulates in the esophagus and can reflux, causing choking and even aspiration pneumonia.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of cardiac cancer. Do you understand them? I hope that if patients find that they have the disease, timely treatment is the most important. Of course, they must face the disease squarely and receive treatment seriously to ensure their health.
