What foods should be avoided and how should patients with nasopharyngeal cancer eat?

If you have nasopharyngeal cancer, you should pay more attention to your daily diet. There are some things you cannot eat. Here are some foods you should avoid eating for nasopharyngeal cancer. How should you eat?

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma mainly occurs in the posterior wall of the nasopharyngeal roof and the pharyngeal recess, and also in the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube or the posterior nasal aperture. Cancer is multicentric and asynchronous, and tends to occur in depressions on the mucosal surface. Cancer cells can come from squamous epithelial cells, but most come from pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, and then they can become cancerous first and then squamous, or squamous first and then cancerous. Squamous is a characteristic of nasopharyngeal mucosal carcinoma.

Pay attention to the diet of nasopharyngeal cancer:

1. Do not drink alcohol

Wine has always been poisonous in traditional Chinese medicine. If it is not recommended to drink, high concentrations of wine will also cause chronic damage to the mouth, esophagus and stomach. Any concentration of wine will cause blood heat. Especially drinking medicinal wine is more likely to cause blood heat.

2. High-iodine foods should not be consumed

Nasopharyngeal cancer patients eat seafood such as crabs, shrimps, scaleless fish, kelp, etc., including iodine foods and iodized salt, and the tumor will rupture. Iodine is widely present in seawater. Iodine can promote the dissolution of soft tissues, has a phlegm-resolving effect, and is beneficial to benign tumors and vascular sclerosis. But for hemorrhagic diseases and cancer, it has been avoided. Cancer patients should buy pickled salt.

3. Avoid spicy food

When cooking, you cannot put chili peppers, ginger, pepper, ginger, garlic and other spicy foods. Spicy hair can easily cause blood heat. The condition of some cancer patients is always out of control. The reason is that they eat at home, eat in restaurants, sell food on the street, etc. Do not use these spicy things to improve the taste, but use old soup. The dietary taboos for nasopharyngeal cancer patients are spicy.
