A brief analysis of the causes of esophageal cancer

According to recent surveys, esophageal cancer has become the second largest malignant tumor disease in China, posing a serious threat to the lives and health of the Chinese people. So what are the causes of esophageal cancer ? The following will introduce the causes of esophageal cancer.

Generally, the causes of esophageal cancer are:

1. Genetic factors

Statistics show that the disease often occurs in families. In a survey of high-incidence areas in my country, more than half of the patients had a positive family history. Therefore, genetic factors are one of the causes of esophageal cancer.

2. Nitrosamines and mycotoxins

Medical experiments have shown that nearly thirty types of nitrosamines have been found to induce esophageal cancer. In China, nitrosamine methylbenzylamine, ethyl sarcosine and diethylnitrosamine have been successfully used to induce esophageal cancer in rats.

3. Esophageal injury

The esophagus is one of the important organs of our human digestive system. If the esophagus is damaged or certain esophageal diseases occur, it can trigger esophageal cancer. Corrosive esophageal burns and stricture esophageal achalasia can easily induce esophageal cancer.

4. Eating habits

Some experts say that personal eating habits are closely related to the risk of esophageal cancer. For example, people who often eat overheated, hard, or overly irritating foods have a higher incidence rate than others.

Through the above summary, I believe everyone should have some understanding of the causes of esophageal cancer. In view of the above causes of esophageal cancer, we must take effective preventive measures in daily life to avoid the occurrence of esophageal cancer.
