Dr. Li Yun
Esophageal cancer may cause generalized itching. Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor, and tumor cells may release certain substances that trigger skin itching, leading to pruritus in patients. Additionally, skin itching can also result from dermatological conditions or hepatobiliary diseases. If patients with esophageal cancer develop skin disorders or hepatobiliary system diseases, they may also experience generalized itching.
