Do not eat or eat less smoked, fried or grilled food, eat less pickled food, do not smoke or drink, as alcohol can activate many carcinogens and reduce immune function. Patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy can choose steamed buns, dumplings, wontons, noodles, etc. as staple foods according to their eating habits and tastes. Patients with poor appetite can eat small and frequent meals.

The patient's diet during chemotherapy should be supplemented with nutritious foods to improve the body's tolerance to the toxic side effects of anti-cancer drugs. During radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the patient's diet should be mainly high in calories and protein, such as chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, etc., so as to play an auxiliary therapeutic role. The diet should be diversified and pay attention to dietary matching so that various nutrients can complement each other and enhance the body's immunity. If there are symptoms of heat in the five hearts and yin deficiency, the patient should eat Tremella fuciformis porridge or soak 0.15 grams of American ginseng as tea.

Some patients will experience toxic side effects after taking radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs for esophageal cancer, such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Severe cases can cause dehydration, resulting in nutritional "insufficiency" and fatigue, weakness, and mental depression.

During chemotherapy, you can cooperate with other treatments, such as Selenium Weikang chewable tablets, Cordyceps sinensis, etc., which can reduce the side effects during chemotherapy, improve the effect of chemotherapy, reduce the loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting during chemotherapy, and improve the effect of chemotherapy.
