Oesophageal cancer can have no symptoms or symptoms that might be very familiar to the people experiencing them. But oesophageal cancer, like most cancers, can be best treated when found early. That’s why it’s important to check out the following symptoms with your GP, even when you think they are “normal” for you:
- Problems swallowing (dysphagia)
- Feeling/being sick
- Heartburn/acid reflux
- Indigestion, e.g. burping a lot
- Cough that is not getting better
- Hoarse voice
- Loss of appetite/losing weight without trying to
- Feeling tired/no energy
- Pain in your throat/middle of your chest, especially when swallowing
