Esophageal granular hyperplasia

During the hospital examination, if esophageal granular hyperplasia is found, it often makes people feel very scared, because this situation has a certain possibility of canceration. However, don't be too afraid, because this situation is also relatively common and needs to be confirmed and further examined. If there is no problem, you should emphasize health care in your daily life and do timely follow-up examinations. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Esophageal granular hyperplasia

The possibility of esophageal granular hyperplasia becoming cancerous is relatively low. If a diagnosis is to be made, a biopsy of the granules must be taken under esophagoscopy for a pathological examination.

It is recommended to relax your attitude. As long as you pay attention to your diet, eat a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, do not eat pickled or fried foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, do not drink alcohol, do not smoke, etc., and maintain good living habits, you do not have to worry about cancer.

Effective measures to prevent esophageal cancer are as follows

(1) Change the habit of eating moldy food

Change bad eating habits, do not eat moldy food, and eat less or no sauerkraut. Improve water quality and reduce the nitrite content in drinking water. Promote the use of trace element fertilizers to correct the lack of molybdenum and other trace elements in the soil. Chinese and Western medicines and vitamin B2 are used to treat esophageal epithelial hyperplasia to block the carcinogenesis process. Actively treat esophagitis, esophageal leukoplakia, achalasia, esophageal diverticulum and other diseases related to esophageal cancer. Monitor susceptible populations, popularize cancer prevention knowledge, and raise cancer prevention awareness.

(2) Food mildew prevention

Moldy grain contains a variety of carcinogenic toxins, so it is very important to actively carry out grain anti-mold and detoxification work, especially to publicize the importance of anti-mold in household grain storage. Generally, the moisture content of grain below 13% can meet the requirements of mildew prevention. Once the grain is found to be moldy, it should be dried frequently, picked when eaten, washed multiple times and treated with alkali, which can effectively reduce the intake of mycotoxins.

(3) Strengthen the sanitation management of drinking water

It has been found that the nitrosamine content in water in areas with a high incidence of esophageal cancer is significantly higher than that in areas with a low incidence. Therefore, it is very important to maintain good environmental hygiene and prevent water pollution, gradually reduce the area of ​​drinking ditch and pond water, and promote the use of tap water. Drinking ditch and pond water should also be disinfected with bleach, which can significantly reduce the nitrosamine content in the water and kill other infectious bacteria.

(4) Prevention of genetic pathogenic factors

Esophageal cancer has a common familial clustering phenomenon, indicating that the susceptibility to cancer in people with a family history of esophageal cancer does exist, and monitoring of the same generation should be strengthened. If the patient is a male, monitoring of males should be strengthened, especially those under 49 years old. If the patient is a female, monitoring of females should be strengthened, especially those aged 50 to 69 years old. Families with two or more deaths from esophageal cancer in three generations should be considered at risk, and members aged 40 to 69 in these families should be considered at risk. Regular physical examinations, provision of preventive drugs or vitamins, and persuasion to change lifestyle habits, etc., will have certain positive significance in reducing the incidence of esophageal cancer.
