    Most of the symptoms of early-stage esophageal cancer are atypical, mainly manifested as retrosternal discomfort, burning, pinprick or stretching pain, slow passage of food after eating, and a feeling of retention or mild choking. Early symptoms of esophageal cancer can range from mild to severe, ranging in duration to even no symptoms. When the disease progresses to the middle and advanced stages, the patient will have progressive dysphagia, food regurgitation, and pain in swallowing; Or chronic dehydration, malnutrition, emaciation, cachexia and other manifestations due to chronic inadequate intake.

    If esophageal cancer needs to be detected by surveillance at an early stage, gastroscopy is recommended first. Through the mucosal staining of suspicious lesions under gastroscopy, the detection rate of early esophageal cancer can be significantly improved, which is also of great positive significance for the further development of patients.

    The early symptoms of esophageal cancer are not particularly typical. Esophageal cancer will have some typical symptoms after a certain period of time, mainly manifested as gradual dysphagia, which first appears when eating dry and hard food, and as the disease progresses, it will also feel obstructed when eating soft food, and it will continue to develop, eating semi-liquid food, and even liquid food will also appear. Eventually, the esophagus becomes blocked by a tumor, and it becomes difficult to drink water.

    In addition, when esophageal cancer reaches an advanced stage, the tumor invades adjacent organs and metastasizes to lesions, and some corresponding symptoms will appear, such as hoarseness, back pain, pleural effusion, bone pain, etc.

    The symptoms of esophageal cancer in the early stage are atypical, and most of them are related to swallowing, including a foreign body sensation behind the sternum after swallowing, a pain and burning sensation behind the sternum after swallowing, and a foreign body sensation when eating. In the early stages, these symptoms are often atypical and may even appear intermittently, with a slight relief over time. For advanced esophageal cancer, the most typical clinical symptom is what we call progressive dysphagia, which is the obstruction of eating, and this choking condition will progressively get worse over the course of several months.

    At first, it may be that eating dry and hard food is blocked or it is difficult to swallow, but as the tumor grows bigger and bigger, it will gradually become impossible to drink thin things, and finally it may become difficult to drink water, and in severe cases, it may not even be able to drink water.

    The early symptoms of esophageal cancer are as follows:

    Symptom 1: Difficulty swallowing. Progressive dysphagia is the presenting symptom in the vast majority of patients, but it is a more advanced manifestation of the disease.

    Because the wall of the esophagus is elastic and expandable, dysphagia occurs only when about 2 3 of the esophageal circumference is infiltrated by cancer. The disease often worsens over a few months, progressing from being unable to swallow solid food to being unable to swallow liquid food. If the cancer is accompanied by inflammation of the esophageal wall, edema, spasm, etc., it can aggravate the difficulty of swallowing.

    Symptom 2: Food regurgitation. It usually occurs when dysphagia worsens, has little regurgitation, contains food and mucus, and can also contain blood and pus.

    Symptom 3: Hoarseness can occur when the cancer compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve; Invasion of the phrenic nerve can cause hiccups or phrenic paralysis; compression of the trachea or bronchi may cause shortness of breath and dry cough; Erosion of the aorta can cause fatal bleeding.

    Now**The best method for esophageal cancer is DC-CIK Bio**, I learned that the DC-CIK Biotechnology ** tumor effect of the 307 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Beijing is good, and the cost is not very much, as if a course of treatment is between 2-5W. It is not very expensive, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive a regular **.

    The early symptoms of esophageal cancer are probably as follows:

    1. Abnormal swallowing, when swallowing food, there is a feeling of choking, and progressive aggravation may occur, and the passage of food is relatively slow, and with the prolongation of time, obstruction may occur, obstruction is that most of the lumen of the esophagus blocked by the blood vessels due to the tumor is blocked, and it may not be able to swallow, and the sense of obstruction may change from eating dry rice stems, to eating porridge stems, and finally to drinking water, and even some patients have vomiting; Clause.

    Second, pain, pain when swallowing food, the poststernal pinprick or traction pain occurs, this is mainly because the tumor grows outward, that is, the esophageal wall outward, it affects the trachea, and also affects the mediastinum, invades the peripheral nerves, in this case, it causes retrosternal pain, early detection of esophageal cancer is best to do regular examination, studies have shown that people over 40 years old, the esophageal mucosal epithelium is normal under the microscope, but about 40% of people have mutations in genes when doing genetic testing, Therefore, patients over 40 years old who have never had gastroscopy are recommended to undergo gastroscopy, which can detect early esophageal cancer, and at the same time, after early detection, early diagnosis and early detection can achieve better results.
