What are the methods to treat esophageal cancer

summary

Yesterday, when I went to the unit for physical examination, the doctor said that I had esophageal cancer. In order to determine whether I had esophageal cancer, I went to the hospital for examination. The doctor told me that I had early esophageal cancer. In clinical medicine, there are many ways to treat esophageal cancer. Let me tell you what are the methods to treat esophageal cancer.

What are the methods to treat esophageal cancer

Method 1: surgery is the first choice for the treatment of esophageal cancer. The average resection rate of lower cancer was 90%, middle cancer 50%, and upper cancer 56.3% - 92.9%. If the patients are in the early stage, they can choose the surgical treatment. If they are in the late stage, they are not recommended to choose the surgical treatment.

Method 2: radiotherapy for esophageal cancer includes radical and palliative. The surgical treatment of cervical and upper thoracic esophageal cancer is more traumatic and has a high incidence, while radiotherapy is less invasive and more effective than surgery. All patients were in good condition, able to enter semi liquid diet or smoothly into liquid diet, thoracic esophageal cancer without supraclavicular lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, no tracheal invasion, no esophageal perforation and bleeding signs. Although radiotherapy is better, it is not suitable for every patient.

Method 3: the proliferative cell cycle of esophageal cancer treated with chemical drugs was about 7 days, which was slightly longer than that of normal esophageal epithelial cells. Theoretically, the doubling time is about 10 days, so the number of proliferative cells is less than that of non proliferative cells. Therefore, although there are many chemical drugs used in this disease at present, there are few effective ones. Although a single chemotherapy has a certain effect, it does great harm to patients.

matters needing attention

Avoid eating cold liquid food, and don't drink noodles, milk, egg soup, etc. that are cold for a long time. Because the narrow part of the esophagus is very obvious to stimulate cold food, it is easy to cause esophageal spasm, nausea, vomiting, pain, distension and numbness. So it's better to eat warm food. Esophageal cancer patients can eat more vegetables, after surgery, it is best to eat some liquid food or easy to swallow food, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease, can not eat heavy taste food, can not eat stimulating food.
