Dietary considerations for brain cancer patients

Brain cancer (also known as intracranial cancer) is one of the most common diseases in neurosurgery, with an incidence of 1/100,000 to 10/100,000. Among all cancers in the body, brain cancer is second only to stomach, uterus, breast and esophageal cancers, accounting for about 20% of all cancers in the body. So what are the dietary precautions that brain cancer patients need to pay attention to? Let's listen to the experts' introduction:

Brain cancer is divided into two categories: primary and secondary. Primary cancer originates from the meninges, brain, nerves, blood vessels, skull bones and brain appendages, such as the choroid plexus, pituitary gland, pineal gland, etc., which are called primary intracranial cancer. It can also spread from cancer in other parts of the body, which are called secondary or metastatic cancer. There are several specific dietary precautions for brain cancer:

(1) Avoid stimulant drinks such as coffee and cocoa.

(2) Avoid spicy foods, such as onions, garlic, leeks, peppers, chili peppers, cinnamon, etc.

(3) Avoid moldy or burnt foods, such as moldy peanuts, moldy soybeans, and burnt fish.

(4) Avoid greasy, cured fish and meat, fried, and smoked foods.

(5) Avoid eating too salty food.

(6) Avoid smoking and drinking.

The above is an introduction to the dietary precautions for brain cancer patients. I hope that brain cancer patients can make some choices in diet so as to alleviate their condition.
