The early symptom of esophageal cancer is esophageal inflammation, which is easy to be ignored by patients, missing the best time for treatment. When the following symptoms appear, you should be especially careful. 1. Feeling strange when swallowing food The early symptoms of esophageal cancer are not obvious, but the affected part is in the esophagus, so when swallowing, you will feel that there is a foreign body in your esophagus. In the early stage of esophageal cancer, you just feel a foreign body when swallowing food, and then it will gradually develop into difficulty swallowing food, and even in the end it will be difficult to swallow liquids. At this time, esophageal cancer is already very serious. 2. Prominent swelling at the clavicle As a type of malignant tumor, esophageal cancer may metastasize in the later stages. Therefore, the lymph nodes at the clavicle are more sensitive to this phenomenon and are prone to lymph node enlargement. At the same time, if the tumor metastasizes to the liver, liver masses and jaundice may occur. 3. Pale complexion and thin body The occurrence of esophageal cancer is not only stimulated by other external substances, such as the influence of cigarettes, but also related to one's own physical condition. People with esophageal cancer often lack certain trace elements and suffer from malnutrition. In addition, esophageal cancer patients themselves have a poor appetite, so they are more likely to appear pale and thin. Other high-risk groups for esophageal cancer: Food is the most important thing for people. The esophagus is one of the main components of the digestive system and is exposed to a lot of stimulation every day. Many people with bad habits are very likely to develop esophageal cancer. People who often eat hot food or eat too fast are more likely to develop esophageal cancer. This is because hot food and fast eating can easily damage the esophagus, and continuous damage can increase the possibility of cancer. Secondly, people who love barbecue and pickled food are also more likely to develop esophageal cancer, as these two foods also contain a lot of carcinogens. Finally, patients with esophagitis are more likely to develop esophageal cancer. Therefore, for those who already suffer from esophagitis, they should pay more attention to the care of the esophagus. |
