Is esophageal cancer a tumor? How is esophageal cancer caused?

Tumors are divided into malignant and benign, and esophageal tumors are the same, which can only be known by doctors for sampling and pathological tests

As long as the edge is clear or smooth, it should be a benign tumor, not cancer, but it is not discharged and there is a possibility of cancer, and it should be grasped tightly**.

Benign tumors of the esophagus and esophageal cancers are not the same in nature. However, some commonalities between them are interrelated, so we must be very careful and cautious in the diagnosis of these two diseases, and carefully distinguish them to avoid misdiagnosis. Esophageal cancer that has progressed to the middle and advanced stages is different in shape, size, invasion and stricture observed under esophagoscopy.

Tumors may be mushroom-shaped, granular-shaped, cauliflower-shaped, mulberry-shaped, and polyp-shaped. The color is usually light red, dark red or grayish-white, and there will be deep and shallow ulcers on the surface of the tumor, which are brittle, easy to rupture and easy to bleed.

A lump is not necessarily cancer, nor is it necessarily a tumor. Whether it is cancer or not is ultimately determined by a biopsy test. will affect the quality of life.

The test report shows that there is inflammation and swelling, inflammation is easy to understand, and the swelling should be caused by inflammation, which can be removed after inflammation. If the tumor cannot be eliminated, the specific condition should be determined after pathological analysis of the tumor to see whether it is a benign tumor or a malignant tumor, a malignant tumor is cancer, and according to this report, it is less likely to be cancer.

There is only one national regular cancer hospital in Anhui, Hefei Phoenix Cancer Hospital, which is very authoritative in the field of oncology. Even many patients around Anhui are admiring it, specialized cancer hospitals should have great advantages in all aspects of expert technology, cancer needs a positive attitude, as long as you actively cooperate with the doctor, cancer is possible. Good luck soon**!

You can also call**, you can find it on the Internet, I hope it can help you!

In the presence of a space-occupying lesion, the possibility of cancer should be considered; However, the possibility of benign tissues and polyps cannot be ruled out, and further biopsies should be done to be on the safe side so that the diagnosis can be confirmed this morning. No delays, good luck!

Microscopic biopsy of the lesion can confirm the nature of the mass.

Hefei Phoenix Cancer Hospital, the national cancer consultation ** can be found online.

Food is what we have to eat every day, but many times we eat unhealthy food, as the saying goes, disease comes from the mouth, often eating junk food is easy to cause cancer, we often hear that the main cause of esophageal cancer is caused by eating junk food often, so usually pay attention not to eat too much junk food.

Esophageal cancer is a gradual process, and there are some symptoms in the early stages, such as a little discomfort, a burning sensation, or a little pain when eating. The main cause of esophageal cancer is caused by food, we will consume different foods every day, most of the substances needed by the body are ingested by the outside world, and food is the main **.

There are many types of food that we eat into our bodies every day, and it is inevitable that there will be junk food, and eating too much junk food will increase the chance of cancer, so it is better to eat less.

We all know that esophageal cancer is mostly caused by food, and the following are some junk foods. Barbecue foods contain strong carcinogens, so they must be avoided in your diet.

Fried foods are high in calories, contain more oil, and oxidizing substances often eat to lead to obesity, and often produce a large number of carcinogens in the process of frying. Convenience foods are high-salt, high-fat foods that may have potential adverse effects on the liver.

Preserved foods require a lot of salt during the pickling process, which can put a lot of pressure on the kidneys and can also lead to esophageal cancer.

The natural incidence of esophageal cancer averages three years longer and has some different symptoms. In the early stage of esophageal cancer, the symptoms are mild and not obvious, and it is difficult to swallow smoothly when eating, and there will be pain in the sternum when eating food.

In the middle stage of the disease, patients may experience hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, regurgitation of food, hematemesis, or melena. Symptoms such as cachexia, dehydration, ascites, and tracheal compression may occur in the later stages.

Since the symptoms are not obvious in the early stage, it is easy to be overlooked, so be sure to pay careful attention to the changes in your body.

Patients with esophageal cancer must pay attention to their usual eating habits and do not eat too much meat, because meat is high in fat, and you can eat more fish and shrimp to meet the body's protein needs.

Foods such as pickles and bacon contain carcinogens nitrite, which should be eaten sparingly. Moldy rice, noodles, peanuts and other foods contain carcinogenic flavomycin, and once found, you should throw it away and not feel sorry for it.

Eating fried food regularly can increase the pollution of the kitchen and make people more susceptible to stomach cancer. Eat more vitamin-rich foods such as celery, leeks, sweet potatoes, and more.

Smoking, drinking.

The histological type of esophageal cancer in China is mainly squamous cell carcinoma, and smoking and heavy alcohol consumption are important factors causing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma increases by 3 8 times, while that of drinkers increases by 7 50 times.

Nitrite. Nitrite is a precursor to nitrosamines, which are important contributors to esophageal cancer. In areas with a high incidence of esophageal cancer, the content of nitrosamines in food and drinking water was significantly higher than that in other areas, and was positively correlated with the prevalence of esophageal cancer and severe esophageal epithelial hyperplasia in the local area.

Nitrite is a commonly used edible additive that is widely used in preserved foods. Therefore, excessive nitrite intake caused by long-term consumption of preserved foods is associated with the incidence of esophageal cancer.

Mycotoxins. Fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium in food can not only reduce nitrate to nitrite, but also promote the synthesis of carcinogens such as nitrosamines, and often synergize with nitrosamines to cause cancer.

Deficiencies in trace elements and vitamins.

Long-term dietary deficiency of micronutrients and vitamins, especially selenium, carotene, vitamin E, etc., may be one of the factors leading to the incidence of esophageal cancer.

Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the esophageal epithelial tissue, and patients with esophageal cancer often present with retrosternal discomfort, dull pain or obvious foreign body sensation in the early stage. Symptoms worsen after eating, and when swallowing food, you feel a choking sensation behind your breastbone, and you may lose weight.

As the disease progresses, patients will present with persistent retrosternal pain, progressive worsening, a positive fecal occult blood test or melena, and eventually a marked wasting cachexia state.

The diet of esophageal cancer patients should be soft food and high protein content.

Appropriately limiting sugar and adding some complementary foods can play a good role in health care for esophageal cancer patients, such as apples, apricots, and grapes.

Apples are rich in vitamins, and its fiber is also relatively soft, which can also achieve the effect of dilating the intestinal lumen, and there is an appropriate amount of sugar supplement.

Apricot is a unique fruit, moderate consumption can supplement the nutrients needed by the body, and also has the effect of relieving cough and asthma, lowering cholesterol, and moistening the intestines.

Grapes are rich in vitamin C, which can remove free radicals from the human body after being eaten, improve the antioxidant function of cells, promote gastrointestinal digestion, relieve fatigue, prevent cardiovascular diseases, and enhance blood circulation.
