What should we pay attention to when high squamous cell carcinoma antigen causes inflammation?

Cancer is showing an explosive growth trend in modern life. More and more people are facing the risk of cancer, which has brought a great blow to life. There are many types of cancer, but any cancer cannot be ignored, because any cancer will pose a threat to life. For example, squamous cell carcinoma is a relatively small-scale cancer, but why is it very large? Let’s take a look at what we should pay attention to when high squamous cell carcinoma antigen causes inflammation?

What is the reason for high squamous cell carcinoma-associated antigen?

Squamous cell carcinoma antigen is a subtype of tumor-associated antigen TA-4 and is a glycoprotein. SCC exists in the cytoplasm of squamous cell carcinomas of the uterus, cervix, lung, head and neck, etc., especially in non-keratinizing carcinoma cells, where it is more abundant.

Elevated levels of SCC in serum can be seen in 83% of cervical cancer, 25% to 75% of lung squamous cell carcinoma, 30% of stage I esophageal cancer, and 89% of stage III esophageal cancer. It is also seen in ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma of the neck. It is often used clinically to monitor the treatment effect, recurrence, metastasis or evaluate the prognosis of the above-mentioned malignant tumors.

SCC levels are slightly higher than normal, which can be seen in other unknown conditions such as inflammation, stress, etc. and can be rechecked after 1 to 3 months. If the SCC rises linearly, the occurrence of cancer needs to be considered.

What dietary considerations are there for squamous cell carcinoma?

It is recommended that if the level of SCC in the serum increases, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Once diagnosed, you should actively treat it. In addition, you also need to pay more attention to the following points in daily life:

1. In the early stages of squamous cell carcinoma, the effect on the digestive tract function is generally small, so the main focus is on enhancing the patient's disease resistance and improving the immune function. Nutrients should be replenished as much as possible, and protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, etc. can be consumed reasonably.

2. After the operation, the diet should be adjusted to replenish qi and blood, and produce essence and replenish essence, such as yam, longan, mulberry, wolfberry, pork liver, turtle, sesame, donkey skin glue, etc.

3. During chemotherapy, dietary adjustments should focus on strengthening the spleen and kidneys. You can use yam powder, Job's tears porridge, animal liver, placenta, donkey-hide gelatin, turtle, fungus, wolfberry, lotus root, banana, etc. When gastrointestinal reactions, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite occur, you should adjust your diet with spleen and stomach invigorating foods, such as sugarcane juice, ginger juice, black plums, bananas, kumquats, etc.

In addition, it is recommended that patients with cell carcinoma do not eat irritating foods in their lives, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, do not give up on themselves, and learn to cherish life.
