Precautions during the treatment of esophageal cancer

In recent years, esophageal cancer has become a major disease that endangers human life. It has brought great pain and distress to humans. Early esophageal cancer is limited to the mucosal layer or submucosal layer of the esophagus. There are no specific clinical symptoms or no symptoms at the beginning of the disease. But do you know something about esophageal cancer? Let's take a look at the precautions during the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Many patients with esophageal cancer or other tumors believe in the anti-cancer effect of vitamin C and often take vitamin C drugs on their own. In fact, there is little evidence to support the anti-cancer effect of vitamin C. On the contrary, long-term excessive use of vitamin C can also cause a series of adverse reactions such as dizziness, fatigue, back pain, and headache.

During chemotherapy, if a large amount of vitamin C is supplemented, it will acidify the urine, which is not conducive to the dissolution and excretion of uric acid crystals, and it is easy to form stones, leading to hematuria, renal colic, and even aggravating renal damage. Especially for patients with tumors that are sensitive to chemotherapy, such as small cell lung cancer, malignant lymphoma, leukemia, etc., it is often recommended to drink more water to ensure sufficient urine volume to help dissolve uric acid crystals, rather than supplementing vitamin C.

Vegetables such as radish leaves, rapeseed, coriander, and tomatoes are often recommended to cancer patients to improve their immunity because they are rich in vitamin C. It should be emphasized that the vitamin C obtained from the diet can basically meet the needs of cancer patients, and there is no need to take additional vitamin C tablets, especially during chemotherapy. Excessive supplementation of vitamin C can weaken the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs and affect the effect of chemotherapy.

In addition, esophageal cancer patients with gout, hyperoxaluria, diabetes, hemochromatosis and other diseases should not take vitamin C indiscriminately. Tumor patients with venous thrombosis often use antiplatelet drugs, and vitamin C can prevent aspirin excretion and increase blood drug concentration. Therefore, for such patients, do not blindly follow the doctor's instructions on medication and take it normally.

The above are the precautions during the treatment of esophageal cancer that I introduced to you. I hope it will be helpful to you.
