Esophageal Cancer Treatment

When we talk about cancer, we all turn pale. Because in our impression, many cancers are incurable, and many people die from cancer. So if we hear that we or our friends have cancer, we will be quite surprised and feel like it is the end of the world. In fact, there are many reasons for cancer. For some people, it may be hereditary, while for others, it may be due to carelessness in life and failure to change bad habits, which leads to cancer.

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant cancer in humans. Many people die from cancer every year, including patients with esophageal cancer. The occurrence of this cancer is also divided into three stages, namely early, middle and late stages. Of course, many people do not pay attention to the early symptoms, thinking they are some minor illnesses. But in fact it is not the case. So let’s take a look at the prevention and treatment methods of esophageal cancer.

1. Medicine and food have the same origin. Some foods have both therapeutic and anti-cancer effects and can be selected and used in a targeted manner. Foods that are beneficial to digestive system tumors include leeks, water shield, cabbage, black lettuce, lily, sword beans, etc. Foods in our daily life, such as garlic, soy products, green tea, etc., are also good anti-cancer medicines.

2. The diet should be light, without any partiality, and eat more foods rich in vitamins, trace elements and cellulose, and add fresh vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, seafood, etc.

3. When esophageal cancer patients experience difficulty swallowing, they should switch to liquid food, chew food slowly, and eat small meals frequently. Forcing food to accumulate will also stimulate the spread, metastasis, bleeding, pain, etc. of cancer cells.

4. Dietary adjustment for advanced esophageal cancer (esophageal cancer): When esophageal cancer patients develop cachexia, they should supplement more protein, such as milk, eggs, goose meat, goose blood, lean pork, various fruits, etc.

5. Diet adjustment for advanced esophageal cancer: When esophageal cancer patients have complete obstruction, intravenous rehydration and gastrostomy surgery should be used to provide high-nutrition food to maintain life.

6. Patients with esophageal cancer who rely on semi-liquid and liquid diets should pay special attention to avoiding cold food and food that has been left out for too long when eating.

7. Diet adjustment for patients with early esophageal cancer: In terms of diet, mainly utilize the maximum digestion and absorption capacity of the gastrointestinal tract to supplement as many nutrients as possible to make the body stronger. Eat more fresh food to supplement protein, vitamins, fat, etc.

8. Diet adjustment for esophageal cancer patients after surgery: Within seven days after surgery, liquid foods rich in zinc and calcium, such as milk, bone soup, chicken soup, etc. should be the main food. In the second week after surgery (7-14 days), if eating goes well, a complete nutrition diet should be selected, such as chicken soup, duck soup, meat soup, rice porridge with carrot juice, spinach juice, white fungus porridge, etc. After two weeks, the patient can switch to a semi-liquid diet and soft rice.

If esophageal cancer reaches the late stage, the possibility of cure is very small. Moreover, many men who like to smoke and drink have a high chance of developing esophageal cancer. Therefore, I want to remind everyone in life that even if you need to socialize for the future, you cannot sacrifice your health in exchange for money. This is not worth it. We should also eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement the body's nutrition.
