The early symptoms of esophageal cancer and laryngeal cancer are as follows: In the early stages of esophageal cancer, patients may experience a sensation of food sticking after eating, along with chest tightness, pain behind the breastbone, and hoarseness. In contrast, early signs of laryngeal cancer may include hoarseness, difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, or discomfort such as ear pain. When any of these symptoms occur, prompt medical evaluation is recommended.
