There are many causes of esophageal cancer, how many do you know?

In today's society, esophageal cancer has become one of the malignant tumors that endangers human health. Severe cases will affect the patient's life. China is also a high-incidence area for esophageal cancer, which requires us to learn more about the causes of esophageal cancer , which will be more helpful for the condition. The following are some of the causes of esophageal cancer.

1. 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. This is also one of the causes of esophageal cancer.

2. Genetic factors

The susceptibility of the population is related to 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.

3. Eating habits

Long-term smoking and drinking strong alcohol, eating hot food for a long time, and eating hard food without chewing it thoroughly are all causes of esophageal cancer.

The above is the cause of esophageal cancer. I hope everyone can understand it. If patients master the knowledge of the cause of esophageal cancer early, they will not delay the best treatment time. The cause of esophageal cancer also has a certain effect on controlling the disease, so everyone should remember it well. I hope all patients can get rid of the shadow of the disease as soon as possible.
