1. Symptoms of advanced esophageal cancer

It is mostly caused by compression and complications, and may metastasize to the lymph nodes and blood vessels. If there is ulcer, inflammation or tumor invasion in the affected section of the esophagus, it will cause persistent dull pain behind the sternum or in the back. If the pain is severe and accompanied by fever, one should be alert to whether the tumor has perforated or is about to perforate. Cancerous lymph node metastasis is often behind the attachment of the sternocleidomastoid muscle above the clavicle, more often on the left side than on the right side. If the recurrent laryngeal nerve is compressed, hoarseness occurs; if the cervical sympathetic nerve is compressed, Horner syndrome occurs. Laryngitis caused by inhalation inflammation can also cause hoarseness, and indirect laryngoscopy can help to identify it. The cancer compresses the trachea, which may cause coughing and difficulty breathing. Sometimes, due to severe esophageal obstruction, reverse peristalsis occurs, causing the contents of the esophagus to be accidentally inhaled into the airway and cause infection. Cancerous tissue invades the mediastinum, trachea, bronchi, and aorta, causing mediastinitis, tracheoesophageal fistula, pneumonia, lung abscess, and even fatal massive bleeding. The patient suffers from malnutrition, dehydration and other cachexia due to difficulty in swallowing. If the disease metastasizes to important organs such as bones, liver, and brain, symptoms such as bone pain, jaundice, ascites, and coma may occur.
