What are the symptoms of advanced esophageal cancer?

Hello, esophageal cancer has difficulty eating, chest and back swelling pain, and hoarseness in the advanced stage. Neck lumps, emaciation. Cachexia.

According to the current situation of the patient, it is recommended to use biological immunity**, without ***, which can also inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumor cells. Improves the patient's immunity. Survival with tumors prolongs life.

Cancer is the killer of many patients, and the so-called very painful in the advanced stage of cancer, but they don't know what kind of signs are signs of cancer and what are the symptoms of advanced cancer patients. Then let's explain what are the symptoms of advanced esophageal cancer before death.

1.First, the symptoms of dysphagia in patients with constrictive esophageal cancer are the most obvious and typical. Most patients with ulcerative esophageal cancer do not have significant dysphagia, and even if the disease progresses from advanced to advanced, patients do not necessarily have significant dysphagia.

2.Second: Mushroom umbrella esophageal cancer does not have obvious symptoms of eating difficulties until the tumor completely blocks the esophageal lumen or blocks most of the esophageal lumen.

Most patients with medullary esophageal cancer have more serious symptoms of dyspharyngeal eating, and sometimes, due to the ischemia and necrosis of the cancer tissue, the tumor body is reduced, and the symptoms of dysphagia can be temporarily relieved, but the symptoms are ** soon after.

3.Third: pain, hoarseness, hiccups: often a manifestation of esophageal cancer itself, metastatic mediastinal lymph nodes that invade (compress) the phrenic nerve and lead to diaphragmatic paralysis and motor dysfunction.

Precautions. Many cancer patients are very painful to go, once they find that they are unwell, please go to the hospital for examination, so as not to delay the condition, and face life with a smile when they have cancer, and do not be disturbed by the disease.

Once esophageal cancer enters an advanced stage, patients tend to choose to be conservative**. The spread of cancer cells has caused great pain to the patient's body. Usually at this time, the patient himself often has a variety of advanced symptoms, and the patient's family should be by the patient's side and give the patient spiritual comfort during this period compared to other periods.

Accompany patients through the last journey of their lives. Let's take a look now.

1. Dysphagia Progressive dysphagia is the main symptom of most patients at the time of presentation, but it is a late 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. As a result, after the onset of the above early symptoms, the disease gradually worsens within 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. The location of the obstruction is often consistent with the location of the hand cancer. 2. Food reactions often occur when dysphagia is aggravated, the regurgitation flow is not large, and it contains food and mucus, and can also contain blood and pus.

3. Other symptoms: When the cancer compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, hoarseness can occur; 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. In complicated esophageal-tracheal or esophageal-bronchial fistula or cancer in the upper esophagus, swallowing fluid often produces cervical sympathetic palsy signs. Different patients with esophageal cancer have different symptoms before death of advanced esophageal cancer, and the above gives you a brief introduction to the symptoms of most advanced 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.

Clause.

1. Vomiting. It often occurs when dysphagia worsens, vomits whenever choked at first, vomits whenever he eats later, and vomits without eating when it is severe. Vomit is mostly something that cannot be passed through the lower pharynx, mainly mucus and food that is trapped above the stricture of the esophagus.

Clause. 2. Hoarseness.

When the cancer tissue invades or compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, vocal cord paralysis occurs, and the patient has hoarseness and even loss of voice, this advanced pre-death symptom of esophageal cancer is more common in the upper esophageal cancer involving the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, sometimes the enlarged metastatic lymph nodes compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, the patient has hoarseness symptoms, often choks due to aspiration when eating, and sometimes causes aspiration pneumonia.

Clause. 3. Pain.

Some patients have pain in the pharyngea, retrosternum, or interscapula when swallowing food. Depending on the location of the tumor, it is suggested that there has been external invasion causing periesophageitis, mediastinumitis, or deep esophageal ulcers.

Clause. Fourth, dysphagia.

Dysphagia is the main antemortem symptom of advanced esophageal cancer and the most common complaint, with about 90% of patients having this symptom and is the most prominent symptom of esophageal cancer.

1) Dysphagia 2) Pain: Some patients have pain in swallowing, retrosternal or interscapular pain when swallowing food. (3) Hoarseness:

When the cancer tissue invades or compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, vocal cord paralysis occurs, and the patient has hoarseness and even loss of voice, which is more common in upper esophageal cancer involving the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, sometimes enlarged metastatic lymph nodes compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, the patient has hoarseness symptoms, and often chokes on cough due to aspiration when eating, and sometimes causes aspiration pneumonia. (4) Hiccups: It is often the manifestation of esophageal cancer itself, metastatic mediastinal lymph nodes invading (compressing) the phrenic nerve and leading to diaphragmatic paralysis and motor dysfunction.

5) Vomiting: often occurs when dysphagia is aggravated, vomits when choked at the beginning, vomits every time you eat, and vomits when you don't eat when it is serious. (6) Respiratory symptoms:

Aspiration and direct tumor invasion? Tracheal and bronchial problems are followed by cough, dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain. (7) Weight loss:

Weight loss is the second most common symptom in patients with esophageal cancer

My family vomited what they ate, coughed very badly, and had a lot of phlegm. I didn't use nutrient solution or anything when I went home, but sometimes I used oxygen when I was uncomfortable or couldn't breathe, and I was weak to cough and have no phlegm in the later stage, and I didn't eat or drink and passed away about a week.
