Analysis of the causes of esophageal cancer
- Biological causes - fungi
This kind of bacteria can be deposited in many foods and supplies in life, such as some moldy rice,
If we eat these kinds of foods regularly, we will be prone to diseases, because such foods contain a large amount of aflatoxin, and aflatoxin has been proven to be a highly carcinogenic substance. So, always pay more attention and avoid it.
- Unbalanced nutrition - lack of certain trace elements and vitamins
Everyone should know that these elements are necessary for us to maintain our health. When we lack them, it is easy to induce certain diseases, such as esophageal cancer.
- Bad eating habits - tobacco, alcohol, hot food, hot drinks, unclean mouth, etc.
Alcohol is very irritating to the mucous membrane of the esophagus. After a long time, it is easy to damage and induce diseases; and smoke can directly cause cancer because it contains many carcinogenic ingredients.
Long-term consumption of hot food can easily scald the esophageal tissue, damage the esophagus, and lead to the formation of cancer cells. Also, maintain oral hygiene
- Genetic factors - family inheritance
Basically every cancer has this tendency, so it is recommended that those with a family history should have regular checkups.
