Can esophageal cancer cause chest pain?

What are the complications of esophageal cancer?

[Artiquety]

yes it can, depending on where the tumour is situated -but also bear in mind what gastric reflux can cause Indigestion that being similar in pain

The most common first symptom is food getting stuck after you swallow it. If an esophageal tumour had grown large enough to cause pain i would have thought that the swallowing issues would already have happened. Usually a gastroscopy is the first test done to visually check the esophagus.

The complications are the restriction of the esophagus, and also the usual cancer complications where the tumour can spread beyond the original location through the esophageal wall or to distant sites.
