Case description

When patients with esophageal cancer are first seen, most have dysphagia. Patients adjust their diet as symptoms progress from solid to liquid food intolerance, and at presentation they have weight loss, anorexia, or both. Odynophagia or back pain may be an ominous sign reflecting mediastinal invasion. Hoarseness may indicate recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement.
