What are the early symptoms of esophageal cancer?

At present, esophageal cancer has become one of the killers of human beings. It is also called esophageal cancer. It is a malignant tumor that occurs in the esophageal epithelial tissue. The occurrence of esophageal cancer is related to chronic stimulation of nitrosamines, inflammation and trauma, genetic factors, and the content of trace elements in drinking water, food and vegetables. So it is necessary for us to master the early symptoms of esophageal cancer.

1. The most common symptom is swallowing obstruction, which can disappear or recur on its own and does not affect eating. It often occurs when the patient is emotionally unstable, so it is easily mistaken for a functional symptom.

2. Pain behind the sternum and under the xiphoid process is more common. Pain behind the sternum or under the xiphoid process occurs when swallowing food. The pain may be burning, pricking, or pulling, and is most common when swallowing rough, hot, or irritating food. The pain is intermittent at first, but when the tumor invades nearby tissues or penetrates, there may be severe and continuous pain. The pain site is often not completely consistent with the lesion site in the esophagus. The pain can often be temporarily relieved by spasmolytics.

3. Food retention infection and foreign body sensation When swallowing food or drinking water, there is a feeling of food moving slowly and being retained, as well as a feeling of tightness behind the sternum or food sticking to the esophageal wall, which disappears after eating. The site of symptom occurrence is often consistent with the site of lesions in the esophagus.

4. Dryness and tightness in the throat are particularly obvious when swallowing dry and rough food. The occurrence of this symptom is often related to the patient's mood swings.

5. Other symptoms A small number of patients may experience symptoms such as discomfort behind the sternum, anterior pain and belching.

The above are the early symptoms of esophageal cancer. Everyone should be careful about their health.
