In recent years, esophageal cancer has become one of the major diseases that endangers society and human health, and it has brought great pain and distress to humans. In order to reduce the incidence of esophageal cancer, we humans should understand the symptoms of advanced esophageal cancer:

Symptoms of late stage esophageal tumors include jaundice, ascites, abnormal liver function, dyspnea, cough, headache, coma, etc. Tumors invade the outer membrane of the esophagus and cause esophageal perforation, esophageal-tracheal fistula, esophageal-mediastinal fistula, and solid food cannot be swallowed smoothly, or it can be swallowed after being washed with soup. Semi-liquid diet is also blocked, and finally it is difficult to swallow liquid diet.

Food reflux. The proximal part of the esophageal obstruction has dilation and retention, which may cause food reflux. The reflux contains mucus mixed with old food and may be bloody or have necrotic and detached tissue blocks.

Symptoms of late-stage esophageal cancer: When the cancer compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, it can cause hoarseness; when it invades the phrenic nerve, it can cause hiccups or phrenic nerve paralysis; when it compresses the trachea or bronchi, it can cause shortness of breath and dry cough; when it erodes the aorta, it can cause fatal bleeding.

The above is some relevant introduction by experts on the characteristics of the symptoms of late-stage esophageal cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
