Can esophageal cancer be cured?

Esophageal cancer is a common tumor that occurs in the digestive tract. If the tumor has a clear tendency to metastasize to other places, it will develop into an advanced stage of esophageal cancer.

If esophageal cancer reaches this stage, palliative treatment and effective care are necessary to alleviate the pain of the disease and achieve the goal of controlling the disease. Once the disease is controlled, the patient's life can be extended.

No matter what kind of cancer it is, as long as it is cancer, it is impossible to be completely cured. Therefore, people with cancer should not think that they can be cured. However, patients themselves should not have pessimistic thoughts, which is not conducive to controlling the disease.

If cancer is controlled and the cancer cells are not allowed to increase or metastasize, then the disease is successfully controlled. If the disease is well controlled, life can be prolonged.

For cancer, early detection and early treatment are the only way to control the disease. So once you find that you have a choking feeling when swallowing food, a burning feeling behind the sternum, or a needle-like or pulling and friction-like pain when you eat or eat. And the food is swallowed slowly, and there is a feeling of stagnation or choking. The more serious the symptoms are, the more obvious they will be.

Patients with esophageal cancer should pay special attention to their diet. They should not eat sweet, greasy, spicy, fried or baked foods; they should not drink alcohol or smoke. They should not eat foods with odors.

Patients with esophageal cancer should eat small and frequent meals. In addition, the amount of water they drink within one hour before and after meals should also be controlled. Do not drink water at will.
