Is esophageal cancer serious? Will it be life threatening

Feeling sorry for this person, we all know that it can't be better. Cherish the rest of your life.

If it spreads, it will be life-threatening.

Esophageal cancer is serious and will definitely endanger the life of the patient, mainly in the following forms: First, the tumor of the esophagus will completely block the esophagus as the disease progresses, and the patient cannot eat and water through the mouth normally. In this case, the patient dies due to lack of energy**.

Second, esophageal cancer cells will metastasize with blood and lymphatic vessels or invade peripheral organs, the most common such as mediastinal large blood vessels, liver, stomach, lungs, etc. Once the cancer cells invade and erode the large blood vessels, it will cause acute massive bleeding, and the patient will die due to hemorrhagic shock. Third, cancer cells invade the trachea and the patient cannot breathe normally, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia, respiratory failure and death.

Prevention of esophageal cancer: first of all, prevention, prevention is the fundamental way, and gradually change people's habits of eating moldy food, such as sauerkraut, moldy nest head, fish sauce is currently experimentally proven to cause esophageal cancer, it is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C, which can block the synthesis of nitrosamines. The second is to improve water quality, do a good job in environmental sanitation, prevent water pollution, and correct the lack of molybdenum trace element in the soil.

There is also a focus on testing for 35-year-old people with a family history of esophageal cancer, regular screening, and strive for early detection, early diagnosis.

But there is always no life left for cancer. However, early stage of esophageal cancer and rectal cancer** will achieve more satisfactory results. Your friend has cancer, and the disease is in the esophagus.

Yes, or you can die. If your friend finds out early and actively cooperates**, you will get good results. Let's give you an analogy.

He could have lived to be 80 years old, but he might only live to be 50 years old if he got cancer. If done right, the lifespan of 50 years will be extended. It could be 5 years, it could be 10 years, it could be more.

This is called clinical**. However, it is a little difficult to imagine living so long when you didn't have this disease. Accompany him well, and give him whatever you want to eat.

Play wherever you want. However, as long as you have the right mentality, actively cooperate, and don't have ideological baggage, miracles will always appear. Even if it's just a 15-year extension of life, then he is enough.

After most people get cancer, even if it is early, it can be cured, but because they are afraid of death all day long, they realize their wish in half a year and see God. So please don't get too nervous. If you're not nervous, your friends won't be nervous.

Good luck to him soon**!

I'm sorry if your friend has an early stage, maybe there will be a good one, if it is an early stage, then your friend will definitely die, and it won't be too long, let his family prepare for it early, and the truth is so ruthless. Hope for a miracle [he might get better].

Malignant esophageal cancer may die from failure due to narrowing of the esophagus, inability to eat. Therefore, if the patient is young, surgery should be done as soon as possible.

Overall, the earlier esophageal cancer is detected and the earlier it is detected, the longer the patient survives, and the better the quality of life, such as the mucosal layer and the submucosa, the five-year survival rate of early esophageal cancer can exceed 95%, while the five-year survival rate of advanced esophageal cancer is less than 3%.

Therefore, esophageal cancer emphasizes early detection, early **, there are statistics at home and abroad that the resection rate of esophageal cancer is 58% to 92%, the complication rate of surgery is to, and the survival rate of five years and ten years after resection is 8% to 30% and 5% to 25% respectively.

The clinical surgical effect of esophageal cancer in China is better than international statistics, especially in the past two decades, a lot of improvement work has been done in surgical technology, and various surgical approaches and a variety of different resection techniques and the basis of anastomosis have appeared, such as mechanical anastomosis with tubular stapler in recent years, which has become more and more extensive, shortening the operation time and reducing the incidence of complications.

The purpose of various improvements is to reduce short-term and long-term complications, improve the postoperative quality of life and long-term survival rate of patients, so whether esophageal cancer patients will die depends on the patient, whether it is early or late, and it depends on the effect of **.

Esophageal cancer is diagnosed at an early stage. Esophageal cancer refers to malignant tumors that develop in the esophagus.

It often takes a long time to happen. It is generally believed that the occurrence of esophageal cancer goes through the stages of epithelial dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, invasive carcinoma, metastasis and other stages. Atypical hyperplasia and carcinoma in situ can be complete**.

Esophageal squamous epithelial dysplasia is an important precancerous lesion of esophageal cancer, and it generally takes several years or even more than ten years to become cancerous from dysplasia to cancer. Therefore, friends who usually like to eat spicy, piping hot, pickled food, seafood or have a family history should pay enough attention to the following symptoms:

1. There is a feeling of choking when swallowing food. Occurs when swallowing large pieces of medicine, dry pancakes, and other things that are not easy to chew.

2. There is a foreign body sensation in the esophagus. There are similar problems such as rice grains or vegetable fragments attached to the esophagus, and it is difficult to swallow, and the pain is not related to eating, even if you do not swallow, there is still a feeling of foreign body.

3. There is a feeling of food passing slowly and staying, and this feeling disappears after swallowing food. But the appearance of this feeling has nothing to do with the characteristics of the food, and some people feel this way even when they drink water.

4. Sternal pain when swallowing, especially when swallowing hard food.

The invasive stage of esophageal cancer is also known as advanced cancer.

About half of the patients can**, so patients in the early stage should actively seek medical attention to avoid delaying the disease. If esophageal cancer metastasizes, it may be relatively small, and the disease can generally only be controlled. Even so, patients with advanced esophageal cancer should have a correct mindset and face their disease correctly.

Choosing the right method can alleviate the symptoms. For such patients, the question should not be whether esophageal cancer can be **? It's about esophageal cancer (shidaoai) can live better.

In recent years, the incidence of esophageal cancer is also relatively high, and the first rate of esophageal cancer is not very high, so its harm cannot be ignored.

The esophagus is the passage through which food is transported, and we are very worried about what we should do if we have esophageal cancer and cannot swallow food in the esophagus? What are the complications of esophageal cancer? Let's find out.

Complication 1: Respiratory tract infection

Esophageal cancer patients are generally middle-aged and elderly, aged after 50 years old, if esophageal cancer patients are accompanied by lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, etc.

These primary diseases will produce a large amount of sputum, but patients with esophageal cancer often feel very sore throat and are reluctant to cough up sputum, so sputum and some secretions will cause bronchitis, which is easy to be complicated by pneumonia and atelectasis.

Patients often have fever, cough, etc. due to infection, and if the lung infection does not heal for a long time, it will have a negative impact on esophageal cancer, and the two are in a vicious circle.

Complication 2: Affects the digestion and emptying of food

Some low-level esophageal cancers require a part of the gastric mucosa to be removed after surgery, resulting in affected gastric function, weakened gastric motility, prolonged time for food digestion and absorption, and some patients have symptoms of gastric distention, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.

According to this complication, it is recommended that everyone eat small and frequent meals in the diet, the diet should be digested, if there is a serious disorder of gastric emptying, gastrointestinal decompression if necessary, etc., and give enteral and parenteral nutritional support, and the diet should be light in life.

Complication 3: Postoperative anastomotic stenosis or anastomotic leakage

The esophagus is a hollow organ that surgically amputates a portion of the esophagus and then snaps the ends together.

If the patient has a scar constitution, then the anastomosis produces scar tissue, resulting in a narrow anastomosis, and the patient has difficulty swallowing or even unable to swallow. The solution is esophageal dilation or endoluminal stent dilation.

Of course, it is also possible that the anastomosis is not well occupied, that is, the ends do not grow together and there is a leakage, which requires another surgical anastomosis.

There are many complications of esophageal cancer surgery, and patients should observe and feel their own physical condition.

What are the best ways to treat esophageal cancer?

The correct method is very important, and surgery plus chemoradiotherapy can be appropriately selected for advanced cancer.

Generally speaking, advanced esophageal cancer adopts conservative **, radioactive and chemical**, but it is very toxic and needs to be combined with traditional Chinese medicine**.

For patients who are unable to undergo surgery and cannot withstand chemoradiotherapy, Chinese medicine can be taken alone.

Traditional Chinese medicine can regulate the body's immunity, and surgical Chinese medicine conditioning can restore the immune system function of postoperative patients.

In addition, traditional Chinese medicine and chemotherapy have synergistic and attenuating effects, and have a protective effect on the digestive tract reaction and hematopoietic function inhibition caused by chemotherapy.

Everyone should understand the incidence of esophageal cancer, and treat the symptoms in a timely manner. **, choose the right method, the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine** effect will be better.

It's too hot to eat. Many people don't pay attention to this problem and eat very hot food directly, but it can burn the esophagus in the process of swallowing.

Esophageal cancer is caused by incorrect eating habits. For example, eating too fast and the food is too hot can easily lead to esophageal cancer.

Because I always eat piping hot food. Some people are more anxious to eat and are willing to eat hot food, which is very bad for the health of the esophagus.

Esophageal cancer can be caused by a variety of factors, such as environment and dietary habits. Symptoms include choking on food in the throat, retrosternal pain, and progressive dysphagia.

Hello: No. The early symptoms of esophageal cancer are inconsistent with what you described

1. The choking sensation of swallowing the peduncle is the most common in the early stage, which can disappear on its own and does not affect eating. It often occurs when the patient has mood swings, so it is easy to be mistaken for a functional symptom. — And the series of reactions you have after a cold is not due to emotional overestion or occasional difficulty in swallowing.

2. Dryness and tightness in the throat, swallowing dry and rough food is especially obvious, and the occurrence of this symptom is often related to the patient's mood swings. - In the same way, if you just swallow something a little bit lower in your throat, it is more likely to be related to some acute inflammation.

3. Cancer is not an infectious disease, and it is basically not hereditary. So your grandfather's esophageal cancer is not directly linked to you.

Don't worry, just wait a few days.

If it's esophageal cancer, if you have symptoms, it's basically in the middle and advanced stages, so it doesn't look like cancer depending on your condition. Good luck soon**!

Don't worry about it, it's just an ordinary sore throat! Eat some lozenges, drink more to reduce the fire, and it will be fine!

You're 80 and you're suspicious.

Hello, OCD is an extremely common psychological problem. It's not hard to get up, it's just a process of persistence (it's important to recognize this, otherwise it's really hard if you mistake it for a problem that can't be solved). It is recommended to go to a professional psychological counseling center.

If you don't have a specialized counseling center, go to the psychological clinic of the best hospital where you are. Explain your problem in detail, and tell the psychologist everything that cannot be said without involving special privacy. This is good for solving problems.

Believing in yourself is the most important thing.
