How to perform daily care for patients with esophageal cancer

Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor disease, which can cause dysphagia, nausea and vomiting. Therefore, it is important for patients to take active preventive measures in their lives.

Quit smoking and drinking, and be careful with medication: Tobacco, alcohol, and certain drugs entering the esophagus may cause food reflux and esophagitis; or the chemical substances in the drugs and the long-term stimulation of tobacco and alcohol may cause esophageal damage, thereby weakening the defense and protection of the esophagus. Therefore, in the measures to prevent esophageal cancer, you must pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and be cautious when taking medication.

Avoid esophageal damage: Long-term research has found that long-term consumption of hot soup, cold and hard food, or bad eating habits such as gulping down food will increase the chance of esophageal cancer. This is because these foods may damage the esophagus and cause cancer. Although the esophageal epithelium has a certain degree of wear resistance, it is limited after all. Therefore, it is important to protect the esophagus and avoid esophageal damage in the prevention of esophageal cancer.

Self-care: In addition to cooperating with doctors for treatment, esophageal cancer patients must also establish a positive, optimistic, and healthy attitude towards life to improve their quality of life.
