In recent years, esophageal cancer has become one of the most common tumors, causing certain harm to human life and health. Most of these are due to various pressures in people's lives and work. We must know the causes of esophageal cancer, which will make it easier for us to prevent it. Next, we will introduce the causes of esophageal cancer.

Causes of esophageal cancer :

1. Genetic factors The susceptibility of the population to various causes of esophageal cancer, such as genetic and environmental conditions. Esophageal cancer has a relatively significant family clustering phenomenon. In high-incidence areas, it is not uncommon for families to have esophageal cancer patients for three or more generations.

2. Nutrition and trace elements Lack of vitamins, proteins and essential fatty acids in the diet can cause hyperplasia and metaplasia of the esophageal mucosa, which can further lead to cancer. Lack of trace elements such as iron, molybdenum and zinc is also a cause of esophageal cancer.

3. Long-term smoking and drinking of strong alcohol, long-term consumption of hot food, food that is too hard and not chewed thoroughly, and other causes of esophageal cancer.

4. Carcinogens

(1) Nitrosamines: Nitrosamine compounds are a group of strong carcinogens. Residents of Lin County, Henan Province, a high-risk area for esophageal cancer, like to eat sauerkraut, which contains ammonium nitrite. Practice has shown that the amount of sauerkraut consumed is directly proportional to the incidence of esophageal cancer.

(2) Mold: Some people in China feed mice with moldy food for a long time, which induces esophageal cancer.

The above content is a simple introduction to the causes of esophageal cancer. I hope everyone can learn more about the causes of esophageal cancer. Experts remind us that early detection of the causes of esophageal cancer can lead to timely prevention and reduce the probability of esophageal cancer. I hope all patients can recover soon.
