What is the relationship between cervical cancer and nutrition

The cause of cervical cancer seems to be related to early marriage, early childbearing, multiple births and chronic cervicitis. In recent years, studies have found that it is also related to malnutrition.

1. Vitamins

Studies have found that low intake of beta-carotene is a risk factor for cervical cancer. In addition, vitamin C is also related to the incidence of cervical cancer. A survey in my country showed that when vitamin C intake increases, the risk of cervical cancer decreases.

2. Trace elements

It has been found that cervical cancer is related to trace elements such as copper, zinc and selenium. The incidence of cervical cancer is related to high copper intake, which may be because copper has an antagonistic effect on selenium, and large doses of copper can produce selenium deficiency symptoms in animals.

Therefore, we should pay attention to supplementing vitamins in our daily diet and pay appropriate attention to eating more foods containing zinc and selenium.

Most cervical cancer patients need to undergo surgery and chemotherapy. These treatments have very high requirements on the patient's physical condition. If the patient's physical condition is weak, the treatment is often unable to proceed or is stopped midway. Increasing nutritional intake can improve the patient's physical condition to a certain extent and facilitate the smooth progress of treatment.
