What are the symptoms of oesophageal cancer?
A. Early oesophageal cancer does not cause any symptoms, which means that most cases are quite advanced when diagnosed. By far the most common symptom of oesophageal cancer is difficulty swallowing, often with the feeling that the food is getting stuck in the throat. Other, less common symptoms include persistent hiccups or coughing, weight loss, indigestion and vomiting.
