Recently, eating is very painful, and sometimes bloody stool. When I went to the hospital, I knew that I had esophageal cancer. In clinical medicine, there are many ways to treat esophageal cancer, patients must choose a suitable method. After consulting the doctor, let me tell you how to treat esophageal cancer.

How to treat esophageal cancer

Treatment 1: surgery is the first choice for the treatment of esophageal cancer. The average resection rate of lower cancer was 90%, middle cancer 50%, and upper cancer 56.3% - 92.9%. If it is early esophageal cancer patients, can take surgical treatment, late if not recommended.

Treatment 2: radiotherapy for esophageal cancer, including radical and palliative. The surgical treatment of cervical and upper thoracic esophageal cancer is more traumatic and has a high incidence, while radiotherapy is less invasive and more effective than surgery. All patients were in good condition, able to enter semi liquid diet or smoothly into liquid diet, thoracic esophageal cancer without supraclavicular lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, no tracheal invasion, no esophageal perforation and bleeding signs. Although there are many people choose radiation therapy, radiation therapy will do more harm to patients.

Treatment 3: chemotherapy, the cell proliferation cycle of esophageal cancer is about 7 days, slightly longer than that of normal esophageal epithelial cells. Theoretically, the doubling time is about 10 days, so the number of proliferative cells is less than that of non proliferative cells. Therefore, although there are many chemical drugs used in this disease at present, there are few effective ones. Chemotherapy alone has a certain effect, but not everyone is suitable for this treatment.

matters needing attention

The diet of patients with esophageal cancer should pay attention to light, but some patients like heavy taste, but it is too light, affecting the patient's appetite, so pay attention to the patient's personal appetizer food, as long as there is nutrition, eat what they like. Esophageal cancer patients in daily life, must eat some light diet, can eat more vegetables or fruits, do not eat stimulating food. If the conditions are better, you can eat more high protein food, or eat more animal liver.
