For us human beings, cancer is our health killer, especially esophageal cancer, which is often found in late stage, so do you know the early symptoms of esophageal cancer and can esophageal cancer be cured, let’s learn about it below. Late stage esophageal cancer symptoms After many patients have late stage esophageal cancer symptoms, they feel that their life is over and refuse to treat, making the disease to mature and deteriorate as fast as imagined, in fact it is not the same as patients imagine, as long as patients keep optimistic attitude, with necessary care, prolonging patients’ survival time is possible. The following is the summary of common cancer experts of advanced esophageal cancer symptoms. 1. Difficulty in swallowing is the main symptom of most patients when they visit the clinic, but it is a more advanced manifestation of the disease. Because of the elasticity and expansion ability of esophageal wall, dysphagia only appears when about 2/3 of the circumference of esophagus is infiltrated by cancer. Therefore, after the appearance of the above early symptoms, the disease gradually worsens within a few months, from the inability to swallow solid food to the inability to swallow liquid food. 2.Food reaction, which often appears as difficulty in swallowing, reflux, containing food and mucus, and may also contain blood and pus, is a common symptom of late stage esophageal cancer. 3.Cancer infiltrates esophagus and invades mediastinum, trachea, bronchus, lung, pericardium and large blood vessels, causing mediastinitis, lung abscess, esophagotracheal fistula and fatal hemorrhage. 4. The corresponding symptoms caused by extensive metastasis throughout the body, such as jaundice, ascites, tracheal compression causing dyspnea and vocal cord paralysis. Persistent pain in various parts of the body should be thought of as a more serious symptom of late stage esophageal cancer. In general, patients with esophageal cancer should not be alarmed when these symptoms appear, as long as they maintain a positive attitude and do a good job in the care of esophageal cancer, it is still possible to prolong the survival of patients. Performance of esophageal cancer Esophageal cancer is very common in our life, and many people do not have special understanding about this disease. There are many symptoms of esophageal cancer, which we need to know more about in our daily life, so that we can treat the disease timely as long as the disease is detected. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of esophageal cancer, and hope they will be helpful to patients. 1.Progressive dysphagia Progressive dysphagia is the main symptom of most patients, but it is the late manifestation of the disease. Due to the elasticity and expansion ability of esophageal wall, it is difficult to swallow only when the tumor infiltrates about 3 / 2 of the diameter of esophagus in time. With the cancer blocking the lumen by destroying the muscle wall and invading the circumference of esophagus, the esophagus in the lesion section loses elasticity and forms irregular narrow channel, so the difficulty in swallowing becomes more and more serious, from not being able to swallow solid food to not being able to swallow liquid food either. If the cancer is accompanied by inflammation, edema and spasm of esophageal wall, the difficulty in swallowing can be aggravated. The site of obstruction is in accordance with the site of cancer obstruction. 2.Esophageal reflux Because the near segment of esophageal obstruction is dilated and full of retention, esophageal reflux can occur, and the reflux contains mucus and mixed with the food, which can be bloody or can be seen as detached tissue pieces.
