Did you know that esophageal cancer can be cured?

Can advanced esophageal cancer be cured? This is the most concerning question for many esophageal cancer patients and their families. In fact, advanced esophageal cancer can be cured as long as appropriate treatment methods are used. Let's learn about the knowledge about esophageal cancer treatment.

1. Surgery The 5-year survival rate of surgical treatment of early esophageal cancer is 89.9%, and the 10-year survival rate is 60%. The 5-year survival rate of surgical resection of mid- and late-stage esophageal cancer is only 22%. Using traditional Chinese medicine after surgery can accelerate the recovery of the disease, prevent metastasis and recurrence, improve the quality of life and prolong life.

2. Radiotherapy is more effective in the early stages, but the 5-year survival rate for radiotherapy in the middle and late stages is only 10%. To improve the efficacy, certain drugs must be taken to enhance sensitivity.

3. Chemotherapy is mainly used for patients in the middle and late stages. Chemotherapy often causes toxic side effects such as gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression, such as nausea, vomiting, decreased white blood cells, hair loss, etc. Especially for patients in the late stages, the more chemotherapy they receive, the weaker their bodies become, and more of them die early. Therefore, there are two measures. One is to take Chinese medicine and biological drugs at the same time as chemotherapy to reduce toxic side effects and increase efficacy. Another way is to not undergo chemotherapy and directly use Chinese medicine and biological drugs for treatment.

In addition, active treatment + optimistic attitude is the best way to treat this disease. Recovery is not the goal. If you can live a high-quality life for ten or twenty years after contracting this disease, what does it matter whether you are cured or not? Even a normal person may have many changes in such a long time. Therefore, you must delete the word "recovery" from your dictionary. You should think like this: I am still alive and living a good life.

After surgery, patients should pay special attention to a scientific and reasonable diet. They should combine meat and vegetables, supplement more protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., so that the nutrients consumed are more than the consumption, so as to improve the body's anti-cancer ability. In principle, patients with early-stage cancer do not need to avoid certain foods. Patients are encouraged to eat more nutritious foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, beans, cereals, etc., especially fresh vegetables and fruits, because they are rich in vitamin C, which has a certain effect on anti-cancer. For patients with middle and late-stage cancer, nutritious and easily digestible foods should be selected. If it is a digestive tract cancer, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, etc., it is difficult to eat, so try to eat a liquid or semi-liquid diet with high nutritional value. Patients should not smoke, drink alcohol, eat sour, spicy and other irritating foods, or eat too cold or too hot foods.
