Three common causes of esophageal cancer

Among malignant tumors, the incidence of esophageal cancer is still very high, threatening the lives of many people. What are the causes of esophageal cancer ? Let's talk about the common causes of esophageal cancer.

In general, the common causes of esophageal cancer are:

1. Nutrition, vitamins and trace elements. The lack of certain vitamins and trace elements is a common cause of esophageal cancer. Esophagitis, atypical cell hyperplasia and severe hyperplasia are more common in high-incidence areas, which is related to the low intake of protein, fruits and vegetables in high-incidence areas.

2. Molds. Various molds were isolated from sauerkraut, steamed corn bread, and cornmeal in high-incidence areas. The mold contamination rate of grains was significantly higher than that in low-incidence areas. The holly stolonifer and alternariae separated from grains have a mutagenic effect, and the toxins produced can cause chromosome aberrations. Molds and nitrosamines have a synergistic carcinogenic effect and are also a common cause of esophageal cancer.

3. Nitrosamines. Nitrosamine compounds are a class of strong carcinogens. Among more than 100 kinds of nitrosamines, more than a dozen can cause esophageal cancer in many animals. In areas with a high incidence of esophageal cancer, it was found that residents ingested different amounts of nitrosamines in their diets, and it was also proven that the amount of nitrosamines ingested from the diet was positively correlated with the causes of esophageal cancer. Some nitrosamines are relatively common causes of esophageal cancer. The content of nitrosamine compounds in the gastric juice of people in high-incidence areas is significantly higher than that in low-incidence areas.

The above is an introduction to the common causes of esophageal cancer. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. For more questions about esophageal cancer, you can consult our online experts, who will give you detailed answers.
