Could this be a symptom of esophageal cancer?

The typical symptom of esophageal cancer is progressive dysphagia, and it is generally recommended to go to the hospital for esophagoscopy, and at the same time as esophageoscopy, you can take tissue for pathological examination. If it is a tumor in the esophagus, you should not worry too much, as long as the current esophageal cancer is actively regulated, the effect is very good.

I hope the above reply is helpful to you and your father, and I wish your father a speedy **!

Is it painful other than choking? In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination, in addition to esophageal cancer, esophagitis, and esophageal polyps.

a. Early symptoms of esophageal cancer.

There is no obvious dysphagia in the early stage of esophageal cancer, and the degree of symptoms is often mild and short, and its intermittent period is longer or shorter, often recurring, sometimes mild and sometimes severe, and there can be no symptoms during the intermittent period, which can last for 1-2 years, or even longer. The main symptoms are:

1) Mild choking sensation when eating, especially when eating hard food; (2) Retrosternal tingling, fullness, and discomfort when eating; (3) A feeling of a foreign body in the esophagus when the food is swallowed; (4) Stagnation after eating food; (5) Epigastric discomfort, hiccups, belching, etc. when eating.

b Symptoms of mid-to-late stage esophageal cancer.

1) Difficulty swallowing. Dysphagia is a typical symptom of esophageal cancer, and it is more pronounced when eating dry rice or solid foods, and it is also difficult to feel good when eating semi-liquid foods such as noodles and porridge. Due to the good elasticity of the esophageal wall, when dysphagia occurs, the tumor has often invaded the periphery of the esophagus2 3 or more, and is often accompanied by infiltration of surrounding tissues and lymphatic metastasis.

Dysphagia often progressively worsens, develops rapidly, and can lead to death within 1 year of the onset of obstructive symptoms** if not promptly**.

2) Obstruction. It refers to the complete inability to enter solid or semi-liquid food, and can only enter the liquid and is difficult to enter with severe water. Patients may have persistent mucus spitting due to the infiltration and inflammation of esophageal cancer that reflexively increases the secretion of esophageal and salivary glands.

3) Pain. There may be persistent pain in the retrosternal or dorsal interscapular region. Suggests severe invasion of cancer into surrounding tissues, mediastinum. It can also be caused by esophageal ulcers caused by cancer. Lower esophageal cancer can also cause epigastric pain.

4) Bleeding. The cancer may cause esophageal ulcers or invade blood vessels, and eventually rupture may cause massive bleeding, often with massive hemoptysis.

5) Hoarseness. It is caused by tumor invasion or metastasis of lymph compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

6) Weight loss and anorexia. Due to obstruction, the patient has a decrease in diet, low nutritional status, emaciation, dehydration, etc., and the patient has a significant weight loss. End-stage symptoms and complications:

Cachexia, dehydration, and exhaustion are caused by esophageal obstruction and systemic depletion, often accompanied by water and electrolyte imbalances. The tumor invades and penetrates the esophagus and involves the trachea, mediastinum, bronchi, hila, pericardium, and large blood vessels, causing mediastinitis, abscess, pneumonia, tracheoesophageal fistula, and massive bleeding. Widespread systemic metastases cause symptoms such as jaundice, ascites, dyspnea due to tracheal compression, vocal cord paralysis, and coma.

1. Dryness and tightness in the throat can be accompanied by slight pain, which is sometimes related to the emotional wave dynamics of esophageal cancer patients. Patients with a feeling of fullness behind the sternum often cannot describe this feeling specifically, only saying that the chest tightness is uncomfortable, which is an early symptom of esophageal cancer.

2. Retrosternal pain and esophageal pain during hypopharyngeal (early symptoms of this type of esophageal cancer are also more common). Pain in the retrosternal esophagus when eating, with a burning, pinprick, pulling, or rubbing sensation. The pain is worse when you swallow rough or hot food in large gulps, and less painful when you swallow thin or warm food in small bites.

3. The painful part is generally higher than the actual cancerous part. For lower esophageal cancer, pain can occur in the upper abdomen. The pain may be relieved after a few days or after taking medication**. Pain can recur when you don't eat properly or when you have mood swings. This happens repeatedly.

4. Choking when swallowing food is an early symptom of esophageal cancer. Some people with esophageal cancer can even clearly recall when it happened. These symptoms can disappear spontaneously without **, reappear after a few days or months, and gradually increase in the frequency and degree of choking.

5. When the food passes through the esophagus, the patient feels less comfortable than before, the food goes down slowly, and even stays somewhere. This feeling has nothing to do with the nature of the food, and sometimes it can also occur when drinking water.

Clinical presentation.

1.Early. Symptoms are often subtle, but there may be varying degrees of discomfort when swallowing coarse, hard foods, including choking on ingested food, and retrosternal burning, pinprick, or pulling pain. Food passes slowly, and there is a sense of stagnation or foreign body. Infarction stagnation usually resolves with swallowing water.

Symptoms are mild and severe, and progress slowly.

2.Late mid-to-late stage.

The typical symptom of esophageal cancer is progressive dysphagia, which is difficult to swallow dry food, then semi-liquid food, and finally water and saliva. Often vomits mucinous sputum, which is saliva from the hypopharynx and secretions from the esophagus. The patient is progressively emaciated, dehydrated, and weak.

Persistent chest or back pain indicates an advanced symptom in which the cancer has invaded tissues outside the esophagus. When the cancer obstructs the inflammation caused by edema, it is temporary.

When the cancer resolves, or after some of the cancer falls off, the obstruction symptoms may be temporarily reduced, and the condition is often mistaken for improvement. If the cancer invades the recurrent laryngeal nerve, hoarseness may occur; If the cervical sympathetic ganglion is compressed, the Horner syndrome can occur.

Attack; If it invades the trachea or bronchi, it can form a fistula of the esophagus, trachea or bronchi, choke violently when swallowing water or food, and develop a respiratory infection. Finally, cachexia appears. If there is metastasis of liver, brain and other organs, yes.

Jaundice, ascites effusion, coma and other states appear.

During physical examination, special attention should be paid to the presence of enlarged lymph nodes on the clavicle, the presence of liver masses, and the presence of distant signs of metastases such as ascites and pleural effusions.

Typical symptoms of esophageal cancer are: progressive dysphagia (first difficulty swallowing water--- difficulty swallowing porridge or soft pasta--- difficulty swallowing dry rice).

Hello, esophageal cancer is one of the malignant tumors. Nowadays, it is usually the upper esophageal cancer that uses spiral tomography radiotherapy, and the lower esophageal cancer that uses surgery and radiotherapy or chemotherapy. You can talk to your doctor and choose the best option.

If you feel the symptoms of esophageal cancer, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for gastroscopy for early detection.

Esophageal cancer healing soup works very well** Stomach cancer has obvious effects in one month.

The aunt next door to our house is the Chinese herbal medicine that they ordered ** (I heard that Chinese herbal medicine can only be medicinal if it is of origin).

He is now taking the second course of treatment and says he feels pretty good.

"Originally, the early detection method of esophageal cancer was esophageal dragnet examination, but now it is rarely used, and the first choice for early detection of esophageal cancer is gastroscopy. For lesions that do not invade the submucosa, gastroscopic esophagectomy can be done, and the effect is very good; Early esophageal cancer can also be examined by upper gastrointestinal angiography, that is, drinking white barium to observe whether there are filling defects and mucosal changes; Chest CT is also one of the early esophageal cancer screening methods, which can observe whether the esophagus is thickened, whether the blood vessel wall is thickened, and whether it invades the surrounding tissues. If esophageal cancer is suspected, you should go to the hospital in time, early esophageal cancer can be completely **, so patients do not need to worry too much, do it early, as soon as possible**. "

Esophageal cancer. Bloating or mild pain behind the sternum. The early symptoms of this type of esophageal cancer do not occur continuously, but are intermittent or worsen after exertion and when you eat quickly. This is because the esophagus itself is peristalsis at all times, and symptoms only appear when peristalsis reaches the lesion.

Esophageal cancer. Foreign body sensation when swallowing food. Early symptoms of esophageal cancer may result in a foreign body sensation when food (especially dry and hard food) passes through the lesion area (the lesion is small) during swallowing, and it is often fixed in one area, and some patients describe it as if they will never swallow enough.

Because the symptoms are mild and intermittent, they are also easily neglected by patients.

The main causes of esophageal cancer are: 1. Nitrosamines and nitrosamine compounds: Studies have shown that there are different amounts of nitrosamines in the diets of residents in areas with a high incidence of esophageal cancer, which are generally present in the foods they eat daily, such as sauerkraut and salted fish.

2. Mold: Because many foods are easy to mold, such as corn, wheat, etc., and once these foods are moldy, a variety of molds will also have carcinogenic effects on the human body. 3. Nutrition:

Among the common causes of esophageal cancer, nutrition, vitamin and trace element deficiencies are also important factors leading to the occurrence of the disease. Therefore, if you want to prevent the occurrence of esophageal cancer, you should not only pay attention to your daily habits, but also pay more attention to your diet, and consume more protein, fruits, vegetables and other substances.

Nitrosamines are a strong class of carcinogens, with more than a dozen of the more than 100 nitrosamines causing a variety of animal esophageal cancers. In areas with a high incidence of esophageal cancer, it was found that residents had different amounts of nitrosamines in their diets, and it was proved that the amount of nitrosamines from the diet was positively correlated with the incidence of esophageal cancer.

Some nitrosamines specifically cause esophageal cancer in animals. The content of nitrosamines in human gastric juice in the high-incidence area was significantly higher than that in the low-incidence area. Don't eat pickled foods, eat less high-salt and heavy-mouthed pickles, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, rh2, Chuanbei, and fish maw conditioning, and give yourself a healthy eating habit.

Recently, people who don't talk about drinking alcohol and blushing are also prone to this disease.

The main symptom of early esophageal cancer is choking after swallowing. Progressive feeding difficulties occur in the middle and late stages.

The most common early symptom: dysphagia.

The comprehensive tumor of Beijing 466 Hospital is very good.
