Once esophageal cancer reaches an advanced stage, patients often choose conservative treatment. The spread of cancer cells has caused patients to feel great physical pain. Usually at this time, the patient himself often develops a variety of late symptoms. Compared with other periods, the patient's family should accompany the patient during this period and provide him with spiritual comfort. Accompany the patient through the last journey of life. Now let’s take a look with the editor: 1. Difficulty in swallowing. Progressive dysphagia is the main symptom when most patients seek treatment, but it is a relatively late manifestation of the disease. Because the esophageal wall is elastic and capable of expansion, difficulty in swallowing will only occur when about 2/3 of the esophageal circumference is infiltrated by cancer. Therefore, after the above-mentioned early symptoms appear, the condition gradually worsens within a few months, from being unable to swallow solid food to being unable to swallow liquid food. If cancer is accompanied by esophageal wall inflammation, edema, spasm, etc., it can aggravate dysphagia. The location of the feeling of obstruction often corresponds to the area of ??hand cancer. 2. Food reaction often occurs when dysphagia worsens. The reflux volume is not large and contains food and mucus, but may also contain blood and pus. 3. Other symptoms: When cancer compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, it can cause hoarseness; if it invades the phrenic nerve, it can cause hiccups or phrenic nerve paralysis; if it compresses the trachea or bronchi, it can cause shortness of breath and dry cough; if it erodes the aorta, it can cause fatal bleeding. When complicated by esophageal-tracheal or esophageal-bronchial fistula or cancer located in the upper esophagus, cervical sympathetic nerve palsy syndrome may occur when swallowing liquid. Different patients with esophageal cancer have different pre-death symptoms of late-stage esophageal cancer. The above gives you a brief introduction to the symptoms of most late-stage patients.
