    The incidence of esophageal cancer may be related to the following factors:

    1.Long-term smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, long-term consumption of hot food. Overheating of food is very harmful to the esophagus, which can damage the esophageal mucosa and lead to the occurrence of esophageal cancer.

    2.Some pickled foods and moldy foods contain high amounts of carcinogens.

    4.Deficiencies in dietary nutrients and trace elements, vitamins, proteins, and essential fatty acids can lead to esophageal mucosal hyperplasia, which in turn leads to esophageal mucosal hyperplasia, leading to cancer.

    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 cancer with a relatively high incidence rate, and cancer forms in the esophagus. There are many causes of esophageal cancer, such as: chemical causes, certain nitrosamines can cause esophageal cancer; Mold contamination, which can cause esophageal cancer if the food is moldy; Local damage to the esophagus, such as some people like to eat too hot food or drink too hot water, which makes long-term damage to the esophagus cancerous; Environmental factors, after investigation, the areas with a high incidence of esophageal cancer are mostly mountainous or hilly areas, with drought and little rainfall, and there is a lack of trace elements in the food eaten; Tobacco and alcohol addiction, esophageal cancer and long-term smoking and drinking are greatly related, and the incidence rate is as high as 156 times that of the general population.

    Early symptoms of esophageal cancer:

    The early symptoms of esophageal cancer are not very obvious, but there may be varying degrees of esophageal discomfort when eating food, including difficulty swallowing food, and retrosternal burning, pinprick, or pulling and rubbing pain. Food moves through the esophagus very slowly after eating, and there is a feeling of stagnation or foreign body in the esophagus. Symptoms may also be reduced after drinking water, and choking symptoms may be mild and severe.

    How to ** esophageal cancer:

    For esophageal cancer, the preferred method is surgery, but patients with surgery should first be in good general condition, have good cardiopulmonary reserve, and have no obvious signs of distant metastasis, surgery can be considered. This is followed by radiation**, which is followed by surgery**, which will combine to make the patient's survival longer. Finally, chemistry**, the use of chemical**, surgery, and radiation** has the potential to improve efficacy and prolong the survival of patients with symptom relief.

    Eating habits. Long-term smoking, drinking strong alcohol, eating hot food, drinking strong tea, eating too much chili pepper, and eating too hard food without chewing finely can cause pathophysiological changes in the esophagus, which can synergize with other factors to cause the occurrence of esophageal cancer.

    Carcinogen. Mainly nitrosamine compounds and fungi. Long-term consumption of pickled foods (such as sauerkraut) and spoiled and moldy foods can easily induce esophageal cancer.

    Precancerous lesions and other diseases.

    For example, long-term chronic esophageal inflammation, esophageal epithelial hyperplasia, esophageal mucosal injury, esophageal diverticulum, esophageal ulcer, esophageal leukoplakia, esophageal cicatricial stricture, hiatal hernia, achalasia, etc. are all considered to be precancerous lesions or precancerous diseases of esophageal cancer.

    Nutrients and trace elements.

    Dietary deficiency of vitamins, proteins and essential fatty acids can cause hyperplasia and anaplasia of the esophageal mucosa, which can further cause carcinogenesis, and the deficiency of trace elements such as iron, molybdenum, zinc, and copper is also related to the occurrence of esophageal cancer.

    Esophageal cancer** is associated with nitrite compounds, long-term smoking and drinking, poor dietary habits (such as eating hot, rough or moldy food), and there is a certain genetic predisposition to the incidence of esophageal cancer.

    I like to eat pickled products, and I eat some moldy peanuts that are not properly preserved, which can be related to the occurrence of esophageal cancer. Some patients like to eat hot food, like to drink, like to eat some dry and hard food, which will cause some chronic damage to the esophagus, and after long-term accumulation, some cancerous changes may occur. Genetic factors:

    There is a family history of esophageal cancer.
