What are the advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer patients before death?

If esophageal cancer patients are not treated in time, they may develop into advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is a common cancer that can also threaten your life. What are the advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer before death? Let's take a look at the advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer before death.

Before the patient dies, the advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer are:

1. Food reaction:

This is one of the late-stage symptoms of esophageal cancer. It often occurs when swallowing difficulties worsen. The reflux volume is not large and contains food and mucus, and may also contain blood and pus.

2. Difficulty swallowing:

The late-stage symptom of esophageal cancer is progressive dysphagia, which is the main symptom that many people experience when they seek medical treatment. Because the esophageal wall is elastic and has the ability to expand, this symptom will only occur when about 2/3 of the circumference of the esophagus is infiltrated by cancer.

3. Other advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer:

When esophageal cancer develops to the late stage, the tumor may compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, causing hoarseness; invasion of the phrenic nerve may cause hiccups or phrenic nerve paralysis; compression of the trachea or bronchi may cause shortness of breath and dry cough; erosion of the aorta may cause fatal bleeding.
