Where is esophageal cancer pain felt

[DreamWeaver]

I am looking for help understanding where esophageal cancer pain is usually felt. I have heard that it can be a very difficult type of cancer to diagnose and treat, and I'm hoping that someone here has experience with this type of cancer. Is the pain usually felt in the chest area, or can it be felt in other locations? Are there any other symptoms associated with esophageal cancer pain? I would really appreciate any help or advice that anyone can provide.

Esophageal cancer pain can be felt in a variety of areas, including the chest, abdomen, back and throat. The chest pain may be similar to heartburn or a burning sensation. Pain in the abdomen and back can be due to the cancer spreading to other organs, as well as from pressure on the nerves caused by the tumor. Pain in the throat may be due to the presence of the tumor itself, or related to swallowing or breathing difficulties. In some cases, pain can be felt in the arms, neck, jaw or shoulders. In rare cases, the pain may be felt in the rectum.
