① Pain behind the sternum, which is more common when eating rough food, is a pricking, burning or friction-like pain behind the sternum or under the xiphoid process. It can be relieved by taking spasmolytics. The pain site and lesion site of patients with esophageal cancer are often inconsistent.

② Early symptoms of esophageal cancer include foreign body sensation or food retention. Foreign body sensation is often a slight tightening and stuffy feeling behind the sternum, which has no obvious relationship with eating and can be intermittent or continuous. Or occasionally, there is a feeling of food sticking to the esophageal wall when eating.

③ The main manifestations are progressive dysphagia, which eventually develops into difficulty in drinking water, and even difficulty in passing saliva. Food reflux, and chest and back pain. If the tumor invades the trachea and bronchus, esophageal-tracheal fistula and (or) esophageal-bronchial fistula may form, resulting in severe coughing, dyspnea and lung infection symptoms.
