How to treat esophageal cancer

How is esophageal cancer treated?

Esophageal cancer usually requires exercise, nutritional support, and drug treatment, and patients are advised to actively cooperate.

1. Exercise:

Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the esophageal mucosal epithelium. The etiology of this disease is relatively complicated. Taking into account genetic factors, if parents have this disease, they may pass it on to their children. At the same time, they also consider that it is related to low resistance and bad living habits. After the patient becomes ill, symptoms such as sternal burning or pain will occur. If conditions permit, the patient can do appropriate exercise, such as jogging, yoga, boxing, etc., which can promote the body's metabolism and improve the body's resistance.

2. Nutritional support:

Nutritional support therapy can significantly improve the patient's malnutrition status, enhance the patient's physical resistance, and thus improve the tumor control rate, help patients recover from adverse reactions as soon as possible, and shorten the interval between tumor treatments. Generally, it is necessary to supplement the nutrients needed for the body's metabolism through the intestines, mainly through oral administration or tube feeding.

3. Application of drugs:

It is necessary to use drugs under the guidance of a doctor to control the development of the disease. Common drugs include cisplatin injection, paclitaxel injection, docetaxel injection, etc. They need to be used strictly under the guidance of a doctor and must not be stopped without authorization.

In addition to the above treatment methods, surgery and other methods can also be used for treatment, and good care is required after the operation.
