subject: Signs Of Esophageal Cancer [print this page]


Esophageal cancer is a sickness in which the malignancy will be formed in the esophagus tissues. The symptoms indicated for the esophageal cancer may also be the symptom of other disorders like hiatus hernia, barretts esophagus and GERD. Hence a complete examination is required to make a perfect diagnosis.

The most general sign of esophageal cancer is difficulty in swallowing and the patient will feel that food is stuck. If the esophagus is narrowed down due to the cancer, it will be very difficult for the food to go to the stomach through the esophagus. This generally starts with the big piece of food and then will go further worse where it will be quite difficult even for the liquids to pass down comfortably.

When the cancer is big enough in blocking the esophagus, then the patient may experience pain when swallowing something. Within some minutes after swallowing, the patient will feel the pain when the liquids or the food touches the tumour and could not pass further. The pain may also happen when the cancer creates a lesion in the esophagus lining or the pain may happen when something is swallowed or when the surrounding tissues are invaded. The pain will frequently be felt on the back between blades of the shoulder or in the chest.

The body produces more saliva to assist the food to pass via esophagus. Since in this case it is very tough to swallow, the body will tend to produce extra saliva for balancing. Patients with esophageal cancer will also have heartburns. It is a sensation of burning in the throat and the chest. Some of the patients may also lose their weight drastically because of the esophageal cancer.

The necessity to clear the throat very often and to experience a hoarse voice cannot be explained with any illness or conditions. Vomiting of food or blood may also happen. Blood vomiting may be because of the seepage of blood from the tumor into the stomach or esophagus. When the bleeding occurs from the esophagus it may be shown as tarry stools or black as the acid lying on the stomach will turn into black. In many of the cases, the cancers of the esophagus are diagnosed with the symptoms created by it. Diagnosing of esophageal cancer without any symptom will be very rare and generally accidental due to the tests that may be conducted for some other medical troubles. It is very unfortunate that majority of the esophageal cancers will not create symptoms till such time they reach the advanced level where the curing possibility will be less.

Some of the other symptoms of esophageal cancer are pneumonia, high level of blood calcium, hoarseness and hiccups. These are the symptoms that will occur when the esophageal cancer reaches the extreme level. In some cases, the cancer will be bleeding and if there is sufficient blood, the stools will turn into black. This symptom will happen even with the other kind of cancers and also with some diseases of non-cancerous nature.
