Often, patients with esophageal cancer complain of difficulty swallowing and chewing food. If esophageal cancer is diagnosed, only a doctor determines what can be eaten. Doctors recommend chopping food in a blender or food processor to avoid foods that are hard or hard to taste.
Also, the patient may be concerned about dry mouth. In this case, a diet with an abundance of juicy and soft foods is recommended. Gravy, mashed potatoes, and sauces are added to ordinary dishes.
During the period of receiving radiation or chemotherapy, it is recommended to consume food rich in proteins. This is due to a decrease in appetite and a decrease in the amount of food consumed.
If a patient is undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer abroad, he / she receives proper nutrition and dietitian recommendations for the future. Cancer hospitals in Turkey, Germany, Czech Republic and other countries provide comprehensive medical care for patients.
