The location of the esophageal tumor that begins in the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach means that symptoms often occur when you eat. Dr. According to Deborah Lee, the “first” symptom of esophageal cancer is often dysphagia. Dysphagia means difficulty swallowing.
Ignoring SYMPTOM OF ACCESSORY PIPE CANCER
Dysphagia is the most painful and debilitating symptom among all symptoms in patients with esophageal cancer, considering its direct impact on quality of life. Despite this, the rate of consulting a doctor is low, especially in young patients with dysphagia.
Dr. Lee said: “Cancer of the esophagus usually starts at the lower end of the esophagus. It’s probably because it’s the area of acid reflux where the cancer develops and grows slowly in this very acidic environment. As it grows, it clogs the lower part of the esophagus, making it difficult to swallow. Food sometimes gets stuck in the throat, causing discomfort. …and it causes coughing, nausea, vomiting, and drooling. Other food-related symptoms, such as nausea and indigestion, may begin to increase. Your appetite may also take a hit and you may start to lose weight as a result.” Dr. Lee stated that if one or more of these symptoms are experienced, it is necessary to see a doctor without delay.
