Esophagus Cancer Survival

One of the difficulties of diagnosing this condition, is that there are very few early warning signs of esophagus cancer.

Symptoms can include such general discomforts as:

. reflux

. indigestion

. difficulty swallowing

. pain on swallowing

. unusual or unexplained weight loss

. pain or soreness in the throat

. pain in the back, behind the breastbone or between the shoulder blades

. a chronic unexplained cough

. hoarseness of voice

. vomiting

. coughing up blood

. tenderness along the length of the esophagus

. a feeling of obstruction in the esophagus when eating

. discomfort eating unless food is either liquid or very soft

. a burning sensation when eating spicy or hot foods

However before deciding that any of these are a sign of esophagus cancer, a complete investigation of the problem must be carried out. In the vast majority of cases, these symptoms will turn out to be due to a far less serious condition.

On the other hand, it is extremely unwise to dismiss any of these problems, particularly if persistent. If in fact they do turn out to be esophagus cancer symptoms, it is imperative that you receive an early diagnosis, as this cancer is an extremely serious one, and recovery is much improved by early treatment.
