Symptoms
The odds of beating esophageal cancer increase significantly when the disease is detected early. Unfortunately, esophageal cancer does not usually cause any symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage. It is especially important to see your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Difficulty swallowing due to the tumor obstructing the esophagus
Chest pain or discomfort
Involuntary weight loss and loss of appetite
Heartburn or indigestion
Vomiting
Chronic cough or hoarseness
Fatigue
Choking while eating
