What are the causes of esophageal cancer

summary

For a long time, I had dysphagia. Every time I ate, I had special difficulties. Even drinking water was painful. Later, I went to have a detailed examination to find out that I had esophageal cancer and was actively cooperating with the treatment. Let's talk about the causes of esophageal cancer.

What are the causes of esophageal cancer

One of the reasons: the main causes of esophageal cancer are nitrosamine food and moldy food, long-term consumption of hot food, if you just go abroad, spicy hot food and so on. China is a high incidence area of esophageal cancer, ranking the fourth in cancer death. Eating hot pot for a long time is the cause of high incidence of esophageal cancer. The temperature of hot pot is too high, and it is not suitable to dissipate heat. Some hot pot food, such as too hot, too spicy and too hard, can also induce esophageal cancer.

The second reason: the maximum temperature that the esophagus and gastric mucosa can bear is 50 degrees Celsius, while the hot pot can reach 120 degrees Celsius. Some people swallow before the food cools down, which will often damage the oral cavity, esophagus and gastric mucosa. The esophagus and gastric mucosa can not be repaired all the time, so it will become cancerous for a long time.

Three reasons: the main risk factors for esophageal cancer are: eating foods with more nitrosamines (such as pickled sauerkraut) or mildew food, and eating hot food for a long time (such as high incidence rate of esophageal cancer in Chaozhou and Shantou province), love for long-term drinking tea, bad habits (such as smoking, drinking).
