Diet of esophageal cancer patients should mainly consist of fluid or semi-fluid food which is high in protein and rich in vitamins, and avoid spicy and stimulating food. 1. As esophageal cancer is often associated with a sense of obstruction in eating or difficulty in swallowing, so the diet should mainly consist of fluids or semi-liquids with softer texture, which can also be broken up by a cooking machine and then given to patients. Avoid eating hard food that is difficult to chew and digest, which may lead to tumor rupture and bleeding. 2. Meanwhile, as esophageal cancer is a consumptive disease, diet should supplement nutrients to increase resistance ability, and supplement high quality proteins such as milk, eggs and lean pork to reduce the malignant condition of patients. Meanwhile, in order to maintain balanced nutrition, it is recommended to use fresh fruits and vegetables appropriately. 3. Due to the special characteristics of esophageal cancer, it is suggested that patients should eat less and more meals and avoid eating too much. Meanwhile, avoid eating spicy and stimulating food as well as unfresh, raw and cold food, which will lead to further irritation of esophagus and cause discomfort. For more medical knowledge, it is recommended to consult a doctor and seek timely medical treatment for any related disease conditions.
