Esophageal cancer is a common cancer, so what are the advanced symptoms of esophageal cancer? What are the methods that can treat esophageal cancer, and which degree of disease are these methods suitable for patients? In fact, when it comes to treatment, prevention is the most important thing. The esophagus is a muscular tubular organ with crazy function, and in advanced stage, cancer cells have already involved more than half of the esophagus, so it is difficult for patients to eat, swallow some liquid food, or even drink water before death. 2.Pain In advanced stage, patients will have pain when swallowing food or swallowing, and pain behind the sternum or between the scapula and this pain will also occur in the subxiphoid process or upper abdomen, and there will be persistent chest and back pain, in advanced stage, esophageal cancer and inflammation may cause increased secretion of esophageal glands and salivary glands, causing some complications, such as choking and pneumonia, and it is still hard to stop the pain. This is because these cancer tissues compress the nerve of waiting back, which will lead to palsy and loss of voice, vomiting and respiratory symptoms, patients will have difficulty in breathing, and some patients will also hemoptysis. Esophageal cancer treatment 1.Chinese medicine treatment In fact, Chinese medicine treatment is mainly used as an adjuvant treatment method, which is mostly combined with surgery and radiotherapy. From the perspective of TCM, the occurrence of esophageal cancer is mainly caused by the weakness of Yang energy and the decrease of body function. Therefore, esophageal cancer patients should warm up Yang and benefit Qi to improve their functions. 2.Surgical treatment Surgical treatment is more suitable for early stage patients with in situ cancer and intramucosal cancer. However, surgical treatment is very traumatic to patients’ body, so patients with poor physical condition and special tumor location should choose this method carefully. 3.Esophageal chemotherapy treatment In our life, many patients with esophageal cancer are not suitable for surgery, so they will choose chemotherapy as the treatment method. However, chemotherapy is blind and most patients will experience side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the side effects through herbal medicine and diet during the treatment. 4.Comprehensive treatment method Comprehensive treatment method is a reliable and effective treatment method to prevent recurrence and metastasis of the disease. The so-called integrated treatment is to combine surgery and TCM treatment; or to combine surgery with radiotherapy and TCM treatment to prevent post-operative complications. How to prevent esophageal cancer? 1.Actively treat chronic inflammation of esophagus, such as late-flow esophagitis, and so on. For patients with chronic esophageal diseases, they should regularly check esophagus and cardia, and should be highly alert to the discovery of esophageal mucosal hyperplasia, and if necessary, perform esophageal stretching or esophagoscopy. 2.Actively promote the knowledge of esophageal cancer prevention and treatment Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are important l-level preventive measures for esophageal cancer, and patients with ulcer should be screened regularly in a -certain range of high-risk groups to detect ulcer. Once there is choking when eating and there is gradual aggravation, one should go to the hospital in time for school investigation and strive for early and clear diagnosis. 3, overcome bad eating habits Do not eat “hot” hot tea, coffee, hot porridge, etc.. When eating pressure chew slowly, do not gobble. Do not eat hard, rent brown food. Develop the habit of eating regularly and quantitatively. Pay attention to oral hygiene, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth often, it is best to develop the habit of brushing your teeth after meals. 4. Quit smoking and drink less alcohol There is a positive correlation between frequent smoking and alcohol consumption and the incidence of esophageal cancer. According to the survey results, the incidence of esophageal cancer is significantly higher among those who smoke 20 to 40 cigarettes per day and drink 2 to 5 taels of strong alcohol than those who do not smoke or drink alcohol. 5.Maintain a good mental state As the saying goes, all diseases are born in gas. According to observation, the occurrence of esophageal cancer is often closely related to the seven emotions, spleen and stomach injury and qi and blood stagnation. Most of the esophageal cancer patients admitted to cancer hospitals had “atmosphere” before they came to the hospital. Some patients have good eating condition after treatment, but when they encounter problems after discharge, they lose their temper and can’t control their emotions, so they will soon have eating obstruction and aggravation of their disease. Therefore, keeping a happy spirit, being good at anger management, being able to accommodate and understand others, and establishing the idea of “one step back and the world is wide” are not only beneficial to the prevention of esophageal cancer, but also to the prevention of other diseases.
