Nowadays, esophageal cancer has gradually become a hot disease that people discuss after dinner. There are many different opinions on the cause of the disease. Western experts and Chinese medicine experts each have their own views and understandings. In fact, the exact cause of the disease has not yet been determined, so is esophageal cancer related to genetic factors?

1. Genetic factors: A large amount of data shows that in high-incidence areas of my country, the disease has an obvious family clustering phenomenon, and it is not uncommon for families in high-incidence areas to have three or more generations of the disease. Therefore, the disease is also related to genetics.
2. Eating habits: After clinical investigation of patients, it was found that most patients have such eating habits, that is, they like to eat overheated, hard, rough food, or swallow too fast, which can easily lead to the occurrence of the disease. At the same time, they like to drink overheated tea, eat garlic, vinegar and pepper, eat small fish with thorns, and do not eat three meals on time. In addition, they are addicted to eating a lot of spicy and irritating food temporarily, which can also damage the esophageal mucosa and cause secondary cancer.
3. Improper diet: According to relevant experts, it is found that almost every patient has an imbalance of nutrients in their body, especially insufficient intake of fresh fruits, vegetables and animal protein, and eating pickled, moldy and other foods containing nitrosamines, nitrates and nitrites as well as fungi, which increases the incidence of the disease.
