3. The difference between esophagitis and esophageal cancer

(1) Etiological difference

Esophagitis: Esophagitis is an inflammation caused by edema and congestion of esophageal mucosa due to abnormal stimulation of superficial or deep tissues of esophageal mucosa.

Esophageal cancer: Esophageal cancer is a common digestive tract tumor. The occurrence of esophageal cancer is a gradual process. There must be a main factor and several secondary factors in the process of canceration, and these factors play a synergistic role in promoting cancer in the process of canceration.

(2) Symptom difference

Esophagitis: Esophagitis is characterized by heartburn, dysphagia and retrosternal pain, which can even cause esophageal spasm, leading to discomfort and even vomiting when swallowing food. Compared with esophageal cancer, esophagitis has mild symptoms and generally does not bleed or only slightly bleeds.

Esophageal cancer: the early symptoms of esophageal cancer are not obvious, and there will be discomfort such as choking only when swallowing. However, in the middle and late stage, there will be progressive swallowing difficulties. First, the food that is difficult to swallow is semi-liquid food, and the most water and saliva can't be swallowed. Patients have malignant constitution, often choking due to swallowing water or things, and are prone to respiratory infection. If metastasis occurs in other parts, corresponding symptoms may change.

(3) differences in treatment methods

Esophagitis: The treatment of esophagitis is mostly symptomatic treatment through drugs, including the use of gastric acid inhibitors and mucosal protective agents, and the use of antibiotics when complicated with infection.

Esophageal cancer: Esophageal cancer is mainly treated by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so as to control the development of tumor and improve the quality of life. Comprehensive treatment combined with modern treatment methods and traditional Chinese medicine can improve the curative effect, improve and relieve the symptoms of patients and prolong the survival time.

(4) Different prognosis.

Esophagitis: Esophagitis generally has a good prognosis after scientific treatment. Patients can reduce the possibility of recurrence by paying attention to diet and living habits in their daily lives. However, if not treated in time, it may worsen and lead to esophageal mucosal ulcer, hematemesis or bloody stool.

Esophageal cancer: the prognosis of esophageal cancer is poor, and the early operation effect is good. However, in the middle and late stage, the treatment after cancer cells spread is relatively complicated, and the treatment effect is not ideal. The late operation is very difficult and the prognosis is very poor.

(5) Tips

It is really difficult to distinguish esophageal cancer with no obvious symptoms in the early stage from esophagitis. Therefore, if you want to get early and effective treatment, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Endoscopy is an important method to diagnose and distinguish esophageal cancer from esophagitis.
