What factors cause esophageal cancer

Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor. When the disease is serious, people with esophageal cancer cannot even eat. It is so painful to watch the food being unable to be eaten. Therefore, we need to understand the causes of esophageal cancer in order to better prevent the occurrence of esophageal cancer. The following are the causes of esophageal cancer.

Causes of esophageal cancer include:

1. Esophageal injury, esophageal disease and food irritation

Residents in areas with a high incidence of esophageal cancer have the habit of eating very hot food, drinking strong liquor, eating large amounts of pepper, chewing betel nuts or tobacco, and other causes of esophageal cancer, all of which can cause local epithelial cell hyperplasia.

2. Genetic factors

The incidence of esophageal cancer often shows a family clustering phenomenon, which may also be one of the causes of esophageal cancer.

3. Effects of alcohol and tobacco

Alcohol is a very important factor in the etiology of esophageal cancer. The risk of esophageal cancer for smokers and drinkers is dozens of times higher than that for smokers or drinkers alone.

The above content is a brief introduction to the causes of esophageal cancer. I hope everyone can have a certain understanding of this. The sooner you learn about the causes of esophageal cancer, the more you can prevent the occurrence of esophageal cancer. Patients must keep these causes of esophageal cancer in mind to actively prevent or treat it. I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
