How does esophageal cancer affect your digestive system?

It will eventually cause you to have a difficulty in swallowing, often painful. So therefore, it makes it hard for you to eat anything. In relation, patients lose weight and become weak, and their immune system diminishes. Most have to remain on a pureed or even liquid diet for nourishment. Last resort would be a G-tube, which is a tube inserted into the stomach for liquid feedings.

IN FACT, OESOPHAGUS IS PART OF DIGESTIVE SYSTMEM.
THE FIRST SYSTOM OF CAE IS PAINLESS,PROGRESSIVE DYSPHAGIA.
