Key points of dietary care after esophageal cancer surgery

As people's living standards continue to improve, there are a variety of street snacks, among which the most popular is Malatang. Experts say that long-term consumption of Malatang can induce esophageal cancer, so it should be taken seriously. In addition, for patients who have already suffered from esophageal cancer, they must do a good job of dietary conditioning. So what foods can patients eat more?

1. Medicine and food have the same origin. Some foods have both therapeutic and anti-cancer effects and can be selected and applied in a targeted manner. Foods that are beneficial to digestive system tumors include leeks, water shield, cabbage, black cabbage, lily, sword beans, etc. Foods in 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.
