Recently, nanfang hospital, southern medical university HuiQiao medical center successful completion of a case of thoracic surgery for 22.5 cm large esophageal cancer surgery. After the ministry of education science and technology novelty search center verification, this belongs to be the longest esophageal cancer resection. The center said doctors Wu Xu, director of the thoracic surgery, love to eat hot pot, drinking kombucha tea, and people had a long history of smoking and drinking alcohol, members of the family of patients with esophageal cancer, belong to the high risk population of esophageal cancer, suggest a yearly gastroscope.

case Because of dysphagia was diagnosed with esophageal cancer

For 60 patients with male, progressive dysphagia for four months, weight in 54 jins, drink rice water before the operation is very difficult, then cough, cough, chest suffocated, and a high fever. Adult male esophageal 21-30 cm long, inspection found that the patients with cancerous part accounts for 4/5, belong to super long esophageal cancer. The thickest and esophageal cancer patients with diameter of 7.8 cm (normal esophageal for 2 to 3 cm in diameter), squeeze the trachea, the condition is very critical. Fortunately, he hasn't happened yet systemic metastasis, surgical indications.

The whole operation lasted 18 hours, looking for clearance of the tumor, the surgical team allow patients to transform the 6 positions, every step will be spun off from the three major vascular tumor, and carefully removed from the trachea. In the end is completed. 11 days postoperatively, patients discharged from hospital.

Found suffering from esophageal cancer, very hot, hot, wine is "accomplice"

In our country, the incidence of esophageal malignant tumor in the fourth, like eating spicy hot pot, hot food is an important incentive. Chaoshan, meizhou in guangdong province, for example, is the high incidence of the esophageal cancer, and the region the be fond of drink hot kunfu tea, eat pickles.

Why to drink hot, love to eat spicy people susceptible to esophageal cancer? According to one study found that drinking tea temperature is 65 ℃ -- 69 ℃ of the population, the risk of esophageal cancer is drinkable temperature falls below 60 ℃ is 2 times; Drinking temperature 70 ℃ or higher population risk of esophageal cancer is 8 times higher than normal.

He explained, the esophageal wall is composed of mucosa, the wall of the esophagus mucosa can only tolerate food temperature within 50 ℃ to 60 ℃, if the food temperature at 70 ℃ to 80 ℃, it is easy to burn the esophageal wall mucosa. Proliferation of mucous membrane under thermal stimulus and thickening, thickening of the mucosa to thermal stimulation is not sensitive, spicy stimulation reaction will be more and more, so that make people more and more afraid of hot, hot, and eat more hot and spicy, oral mucosa will be more and more thick, form a vicious circle, double increase the possibility of canceration, easy to induce the occurrence of esophageal cancer.

In addition, Wu Xu from being done a lot of cases of super long esophageal surgery concluded that alcohol is a hobby, these patients for up to two hundred and thirty years, and the capacity is big, most of the day and a half jins to one jin of liquor, "they are suffering from esophageal cancer were longer, the majority of more than 8 cm, this kind of esophageal cancer is super long esophageal cancer, dangerous and progress quickly."

Do gastroscope suggested that high-risk groups each year

Early esophageal cancer symptoms are easy to be ignored. Wu Xu said, for example, throat have a lot of foreign body sensation, swallowing unwell or esophageal foreign body sensation, is many patients mistakenly thought to be pharyngitis; Early after esophageal symptoms and chest discomfort can be ignored, such as retrosternal bilges frowsty or minor aches and pains.

How to identify? This feeling will go away a lot, he said, but it will break out repeatedly, the more obvious when patients' emotional, don't wait until after swallowing difficulties to see a doctor, because once appear, difficulty swallowing, disease is likely to have advanced to middle and late.

Conclusion Wu Xu reminder, if you have family history of smoking drinkers, and over 40 years old, once poor eating in swallowing or foreign body sensation, or the elderly appear continuity hiccups, long time not ease abnormality, such as should be caused take seriously, gastroscope, esophagoscope examination to the hospital in time, to rule out the possibility of cancer.

Tips

What are the factors lead to esophageal cancer disease?

Factor 1: eating habits

The incidence of esophageal cancer is related to people's poor life, eating habits, if the food is rough, qualitative hard, overheating, eating, drinking strong tea, eat chili, garlic, vinegar etc excitant food and drinking, smoking, etc., are likely to cause esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer has significant familial aggregation phenomenon, the high three generations or more consecutive sick family, but absolutely no genetic esophagus cancer, and have inseparable relations with the family eating habits.

Factor 2: environmental factors

Our survey found that in the hot water, nitrate, nitrite and secondary amines content increased significantly. Chemicals cause cancer, one of the most representative is nitrosamine compounds, these substances easy synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamines in the stomach, which can lead to esophageal cancer.

Three factors: lack of nutrition

Esophageal cancer with low animal protein, fresh fruits and vegetables intake has the strong geographical correlation, above the low intake of food can cause vitamin A, vitamin C and low intake of vitamin B2. Esophageal cancer high-risk area population in Africa and Asia, dietary staple food contains vitamin B2, nicotinic acid, magnesium and zinc lower wheat or corn, and low hair staple food as the staple food rich in these nutrients (sorghum, millet, etc.).
