Meng Hai died of esophageal cancer, and many celebrities died of esophageal cancer before, which once again aroused people's attention to this disease. Esophageal cancer, also known as esophageal cancer, is a hidden and menacing disease. Many people have no obvious symptoms at all in the early stages and do not return to the doctor until they feel difficulty swallowing. And this time is often already late, the survival rate is very low, the 5-year survival rate is less than 10%.
On December 12, 2021, the famous actor Tu Men passed away, also suffering from esophageal cancer before his death, only 1 month from diagnosis to death.
Experts also remind that the cause of its disease is closely related to drinking, loving hot food, and drinking hot tea. If you have symptoms such as choking on food, always feeling that something is stuck in your throat, frequent hiccups, feeling "heartburn", hoarseness, and swollen and painful heart, you should check as soon as possible and seek medical attention in time.
