Esophagus cancer is a kind of common malignant tumor. Nearly 220 thousand people can die of this disease each year. Nowadays, esophagus cancer can be induced by more and more factors, such as food pollution. In order to prevent and deal with the cancer, it is necessary for people to grasp some skills. The medical experts have advised dietary therapy for people to follow in daily life. 

First, people should effectively prevent the formation of esophagus cancer through reasonable diet. People should not eat moldy food in daily life and increase the intake of vegetables and fruits. The traditional bad dietary habits should be quitted. The content of nitrite in water should be decreased by using bleaching powder. People should also supplement moderate vitamin C to decease the formation of nitrosamine in the stomach. People with hyperplasia of epithelial cells in the esophagus should supplement riboflavin moderately so as to prevent the lack of vitamin A.

Second, people should supplement essential nutrients when the disease occurs. When people get the cancer, it is difficult for them to swallow the food. Therefore, it is necessary for people to increase the intake of the food which can enter the esophagus, such as liquid food. People should frequently eat digestible and nutritious food. The diet can be made based on the disease situation and personal dietary habits. People can choose rice, porridge, noodle, eggs, milk, bean curd and so on. Homogenate diet is very suitable for the patients with esophagus cancer to choose in daily life. The stabs, bones and other indigestible things in the foods have been removed.

Third, people should stop drinking much water and taking food in the first three days after the operation. They can drink a little water according to the advice of doctors. It is dangerous for the patients to take common food immediately after the operation, as the esophagus after operation is different from that before the treatment. People should pay more attention to the dietary sanitation and avoid pungent food in everyday life.

Therefore, the correct diet in daily life can effectively help people prevent and deal with esophagus cancer. Although the medical techniques at present can effectively alleviate the disease situation for the patients, it is beneficial for people to prevent the disease in daily life. People should quit unhealthy living habits like drinking and smoking and supplement essential nutrients like riboflavin and trace elements. The consciousness toward cancer should also be improved.
