The high incidence of digestive tract tumors is related to these three factors When you think of eating, it must be related to the digestive system, said Director Luo, digestive system tumors, in order from top to bottom: esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer. These tumors have always been common tumors in China, and even today, the incidence of these tumors is within the top 10. The occurrence of these tumors has some common factors as follows: 1. Bad dietary habits: like to eat hot food. The esophagus often eats food, and the mucosa is damaged by friction, and the longer it is damaged with the increase of age; often eat hot food, and the esophageal mucosa is damaged into superficial ulcers. Repeated scalding, repair, will cause mucosal quality changes, further development into a tumor. 50 years of age or older, there is difficulty in swallowing, we should do gastroscopy to rule out esophageal cancer. 2. Irregular diet: Irregular diet will cause ulcers of gastric mucosa cells, plus unclean diet will infect some germs such as Helicobacter pylori, etc. In the long run, it is easy to cause gastric cancer. In the long run, it is easy to cause stomach cancer. Gastroscopy can clearly diagnose stomach cancer. (1) The cholesterol in high-fat diet is decomposed by the bacteria in the intestines to form carcinogenic substances. Long-term consumption of high-fat diet may lead to the occurrence of tumors in the digestive system. (2) Constipation is relatively common and generally not noticed, high-fat diet plus constipation that is worse, high-fat diet in the intestinal tract produces carcinogenic substances can not be discharged in a timely manner, which will aggravate the occurrence of tumors. (3) Generally, blood in stool is often mistaken for hemorrhoidal bleeding and is often ignored. In fact, blood in stool is the most typical symptom of colorectal cancer. (4) Fecal occult blood, colonoscopy is the most direct means of colorectal cancer screening, very effective. Scientific Diet Should Avoid These Three Major Misconceptions Reasonable dietary adjustment is a great concern for both tumor patients and their families. However, for a long time, there are different opinions on the diet of tumor patients, and some people even step into the misunderstanding. Misconception 1: Blindly avoiding food. There is the saying of “hairy food”, many patients are worried about the recurrence of tumor after eating and “dare not cross the minefield”, blindly avoiding food. Director Luo said, modern medical research shows that “hairy” disease is mainly due to food containing hormones, heterogeneous proteins, histamine and other substances that lead to the recurrence of old diseases, skin allergies, etc. At present, modern medical research in this area has not yet been completed. At present, modern medical research in this field there is no exact scientific basis to prove that eating the so-called “hairy food” can cause tumor recurrence. Some of the so-called “hairy food” is rich in high quality protein, minerals, etc., which plays an important role in maintaining good nutritional status of tumor patients. It seems to be a disadvantage to avoid eating for fear of choking because of the saying of “hairy food”. Therefore, it is suggested that tumor patients should not blindly “avoid food”. The so-called “avoiding food” is a reasonable diet according to different kinds of diseases and symptoms. For example, patients with liver cancer should not eat greasy, fried and smoked food; patients with esophageal cancer should avoid rough and moldy food; patients with lung cancer should avoid eating spicy food such as beef and mutton, scallop, chili pepper and leek; patients with gastric cancer should avoid eating smoked and deep-fried food; patients with intestinal cancer should avoid eating chili pepper and fried food; patients with breast cancer should avoid eating salty and hormone-containing foods; patients with gynecological tumors should avoid eating hormone-containing foods; patients with lymphoma should avoid eating spicy food and so on. Patients with ascites should limit salt and water; patients with low platelets and bleeding tendency should avoid food and traditional Chinese medicine; patients with diarrhea after chemotherapy should avoid food with more crude fiber and so on. Myth two: excessive tonic. Some patients after anti-tumor treatment, physical weakness, so a lot of tonic. Ginseng, cordyceps, ganoderma lucidum, turtle and so on are consumed in large quantities in a short period of time, which is also wrong. After surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, tumor patients have poor appetite and obviously weakened gastrointestinal function. At this time, a large amount of tonic, the body can not be effectively absorbed. Once it hinders the function of “spleen and gastric transportation”, it will make the patient’s appetite even worse, and the gastrointestinal function is not easy to be restored, forming a vicious circle, which is not conducive to the patient’s recovery. It is suggested that the diet of tumor patients should be light and tasty at the early stage, and because tumor treatment is a long-term process, supplementation should not be used in an emergency, but in a gradual and orderly manner. Myth 3: Reduce eating. There is a kind of wrong viewpoint, which was and still is long entrenched in the minds of some tumor patients: the better they eat, the faster the tumor grows, and they should eat less and “starve” the tumor to death. So far, no clinical experiment has proved that “starvation therapy” is effective for tumor patients. However, because of poor nutritional status and low physical strength, it is very common that patients cannot complete sufficient anti-tumor treatment. Therefore, there is no scientific justification for “starvation” of tumors, and it is not desirable. Maintaining good nutritional status is the basis of tumor treatment.
