How to avoid inheritance of esophageal cancer

Esophageal cancer is not hereditary. It is not a direct hereditary disease, but there are many cases where the incidence of esophageal cancer tends to cluster in families. If someone in the family has esophageal cancer, the chance of his children having esophageal cancer is several times higher than that of the average person. These cancers are called hereditary familial cancers. So how can we avoid the inheritance of esophageal cancer with such a genetic tendency?

A large amount of clinical data confirms that if there is an esophageal cancer patient in the family, the offspring will not necessarily suffer from esophageal cancer. Developing healthy eating habits, staying away from unhealthy factors, and paying attention to prevention in life can reduce the chance of esophageal cancer. Especially in winter, do not drink boiling water and hot porridge for warmth. At the same time, do not eat or eat less spicy and irritating food, and develop the habit of chewing slowly when eating to avoid chronic long-term damage to the esophageal mucosa.

We should raise awareness of the relationship between the content of trace elements in drinking water, grains and vegetables and esophageal cancer, and prevent the occurrence of esophageal cancer in daily life. We should reduce the factors that cause chronic damage to the esophageal mucosa. For example: chew slowly when eating, do not eat hard or overheated food, and minimize mechanical and chemical stimulation. Do not eat too hot food, do not eat too fast, and do not drink too much strong alcohol to reduce irritation to the esophageal mucosa. We should reduce the intake of nitrites and do not eat food contaminated by mold. How to prevent esophageal cancer? Improve water quality, drink fresh water or water disinfected with bleach, and reduce the content of nitrites in drinking water. How to prevent esophageal cancer? Eat less meat and vegetables that have been stored for too long and pickled, and do not eat fermented and moldy food. These substances have strong carcinogenic effects.
