What is the hereditary probability of esophageal cancer

summary

A week ago, I found that my stomach was uncomfortable. I often had pain, and I didn't have appetite. I vomited what I ate, and I felt bloated. I felt very uncomfortable. I couldn't stand it, so I went to the hospital and said it was esophageal cancer. Today, let me talk about the genetic probability of esophageal cancer.

What is the hereditary probability of esophageal cancer

First, cancer has a genetic predisposition, but not always. For some common cancers, such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and skin cancer, the medical community has mastered the relevant genetic information, and can test the gene through blood, and then determine the probability of cancer in the family members of patients.

Second, esophageal cancer is not inherited. Esophageal cancer is not a direct genetic disease, but there are not a few cases of esophageal cancer with the tendency of family aggregation. If someone in the family suffers from esophageal cancer, his children are several times more likely to suffer from esophageal cancer than ordinary people. These cancers are called hereditary familial cancers.

Third: cancer is related to heredity, but cancer is not directly inherited. Different tumors may have different ways of genetic transmission, and the role of genetic factors in most tumorigenesis is susceptibility or propensity to carcinogens. The so-called cancer genetic susceptibility refers to the tendency that some individuals are more prone to cancer in the same living conditions.

matters needing attention

A family's eating habits are related, so the incidence rate will be higher. Usually, we must pay attention to light diet, eat less spicy food and easy to digest food. After early treatment, patients with esophageal cancer should also carry out correct daily care, so as to speed up the recovery of body function.
