Speaking of esophageal cancer, we may not unfamiliar, because it is more common in our country a malignant tumor. For esophageal cancer and the number of deaths due to cancer of all deaths in the 1 / 5, second only to gastric cancer, in second place. Why are there so many people suffering from esophageal cancer? In fact, many factors have carcinogenic effects, if people do not pay attention to these factors, the cancer may be subject to torture. On the current information, and the incidence of esophageal cancer-related factors are:
1, fresh overheating. Eating too fast. Long-term smoking. Drink alcohol, oral or unclean dental caries, these factors may have a fresh wall physical, chemical or infectious damage;
2, the consumption of large quantities of nitrite fat food such as pickled food, as is highly carcinogenic nitrosamines;
3, the lack of dietary vitamin A, C and calcium, data confirmed that these nutrients to the water wall has a strong protective effect;
4, HPV infection;
5, genetic factors.
In recent years, due to the popularity of medical knowledge, people of various diseases become more familiar with the typical performance. The typical clinical manifestations of esophageal cancer one by one of swallowing difficulties, we have been familiar for so-called sexual-pharyngeal dysphagia is less difficult at the beginning, only eat dry food are hard; followed eat ordinary food when we difficulties after eating semi-liquid diet also blocked Eventually, even water and saliva can hardly palatable, the overflow mouth water and foam, the pain can even imagine. However, these are all manifestations of advanced esophageal carcinoma performance, if only until there think these performance left the hospital for an examination of esophageal cancer treatment, may already be too late. Any diseases that early discovery, early diagnosis and treatment, particularly of esophageal cancer. This is because, on one hand, good food can chew through a diameter of 0.5 cm of the lumen, and once hypopharyngeal difficulties that have esophageal lumen stenosis; On the other hand, early esophageal cancer resection rate of 100% , and advanced surgical resection rate is very low, at 3% per cent. Literature confirmed that the natural course of esophageal dysphagia there since the beginning, survival was only about a year and the early esophageal cancer from the beginning, the survival period of more than four years; early esophageal cancer surgical resection, and to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. measures, some patients can survive the same as normal.
Thus, the key lies in how to detect early esophageal cancer, our medical research workers have done a lot of work, accumulated a lot of experience. On the one hand, in the high incidence area of esophageal cancer regular census work, through an intensive examination of cytology, endoscopic and Xff barium meal examination and the comprehensive application of technologies such as improved diagnosis rate; On the other hand, summed up the early signs of esophageal cancer, vigorously to popularize science and the masses, enhancing the level of awareness of the disease, self-early discovery, early treatment. Currently found early esophageal cancer can be no obvious symptoms or only as follows:
1, mild or occasional food palatable stems gagging flu;
2, after eating at the sternum. Xinwo Department of acupuncture. Friction like burning or pain;
3, has nothing to do with the consumption of foreign body sensation in the esophagus;
4, dry throat and neck tightening flu;
5, eating at a particular site via esophageal food stagnation flu;
6, retrosternal discomfort nausea expansion.
The feeling of discomfort can stand alone, can be both a number of sustainable existence, but also asked fault occurred.
In short, these are neither obvious nor serious performance, and now mostly disappeared, it is difficult even some patients from non-professional medical vigilance, delays diagnosis and treatment, loss of a full recovery opportunities. If in the above sense, go visit, will be able to seize the opportunity to survive. Of course, the most important thing is to correct unhealthy living habits, particularly eating habits, take precautions.
