What should smokers eat to prevent esophageal cancer

China is a country with a large diet, but diseases come from the mouth. What should we eat to prevent esophageal cancer? What is good for the body and what is not good for the body? Let's take a look at the following article to eliminate the disease from the source, so as to avoid the pain of treatment. If you are already sick, you should also find it early, treat it early, and pay more attention to your diet to recover early. Let's take a look.

The exact cause of esophageal cancer is still not very clear, but based on the information we have already obtained, prevention should start from the following aspects.

(1) 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.

(2) Do not eat moldy food and eat less sauerkraut. This is because moldy food can produce toxins. Change your habit of eating sauerkraut, which contains a large amount of nitrosamines, which are highly carcinogenic.

(3) Treat drinking water with bleach to reduce the nitrite content in the water. Regular consumption of vitamin C can reduce the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach.

(4) If you are a male over 40 years old living in an area with a high incidence of esophageal cancer and have the habit of eating pickled vegetables and drinking alcohol, and you have recently developed difficulty swallowing, pain or discomfort behind the sternum, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in a timely manner, such as esophagoscopy, esophageal barium meal, X-ray fluoroscopy or filming, etc. Generally speaking, esophagoscopy can detect very small early lesions, and biopsy can make an accurate pathological diagnosis.

Treatment: The treatment of esophageal cancer generally includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and comprehensive treatment. Surgery should be the first choice for patients who have the conditions for surgery. Complete surgical resection can achieve good results after surgery.
