Symptoms of lung cancer metastasized to esophagus (esophagus) usually include chest pain, increased mucous sputum, difficulty in swallowing and so on.
1. Chest pain: esophagus is located in the center of sternum, when lung cancer metastasizes to esophagus, the growth of mass will compress and involve the surrounding nerve tissues in chest, resulting in traction pain in chest.
2. Increased mucous sputum: after lung cancer metastasizes to esophagus, the cancerous lesion will lead to different degrees of obstruction of esophagus, resulting in the accumulation of esophageal secretion to the narrowed place of esophagus due to poor drainage, which will be discharged from the oral cavity through peristalsis of esophagus, thus resulting in the increase of mucous sputum.
3. Difficulty in swallowing: when lung cancer metastasizes to the esophagus, due to the growth of lumps in the esophagus, patients will feel blocked by foreign objects when eating and swallowing, and it is difficult to swallow.
When lung cancer metastasizes to the esophagus, it usually means that the patient is already in the advanced stage of lung cancer, and most of the cases cannot be treated by surgery at this time, but can be treated by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
When the above symptoms of lung cancer metastasized to esophagus appear, patients should pay great attention to them and go to hospital for consultation and treatment in time, so as to avoid delaying their condition.
