My father is almost 50 years old. He has to drink a lot of wine and smoke two packs of cigarettes every day. He is really worried about him. Recently, he found that he has a bad appetite. He always feels choking when eating. After going to the hospital, he found out that it is cardiac cancer. Today, let me talk about what cardiac cancer is.

What disease is cardia cancer

First, cardia cancer is an adenocarcinoma that occurs in the cardia of the stomach, which is about 2cm below the boundary between esophagus and stomach. It is a special type of gastric cancer and should be distinguished from lower esophageal cancer. But different from other parts of gastric cancer, it has its own anatomical and histological characteristics and clinical manifestations, unique diagnosis and treatment methods and poor surgical treatment effect.

Second, the etiology of cardiac cancer is complex. It is generally believed that living environment and diet are the two main carcinogenic factors of various cancers of the upper digestive tract, and may be related to gastroesophageal reflux and hiatal hernia. In the histogenesis of gastric cancer, gastric ulcer, gastric polyp (adenoma) and chronic atrophic gastritis were considered as precancerous lesions in the past.

Third: atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous lesion of cardiac cancer, and it is also a common key pathological process of ulcer, polyp and atrophic gastritis related to the pathogenesis of cardiac cancer. Only when they have atypical hyperplasia can they become cancerous, and most of them have the nature of atypical hyperplasia.
