肺癌的食疗(二)

文:刘哲峰博士
肺癌的临床表现非常复杂,与癌症的部位、大小、类型、发展阶段,有无转移及并发症等多 种因素有关。具体包括由原发癌肿所引起的咳嗽、咯血、胸闷、气急、喘鸣、发热、消瘦、恶病质等症状;肿瘤局部扩展所引起的胸痛、吞咽困难、声音嘶哑、上腔 静脉阻塞综合征以及肺上沟癌(Pancoast)等表现;癌症远处转移引起的头痛、呕吐、共济失调、脑神经麻痹、半身不遂、骨骼痛、肝肿大、黄疸等症状以 及癌肿作用于其他系统所引起的柯兴综合征,抗利尿激素、分泌增多综合征、肥大骨节病等。
肺癌治疗的关键在于早期发现,早期治疗。平常人应戒 烟,防止空气污染。高危人群及肺癌可疑患者应定期检查,争取早发现早治疗。治疗肺癌应以外科手术为首选,另外也应配合化疗、放疗及中医中药治疗,以提高治 疗的效果,千万不要将各种方法对立起来,刻意地排除某一种治疗方法。各类肺癌中以鳞癌的预后最好,腺癌次之,小细胞未分化癌最差。采用食疗药膳治疗肺癌具 有一定的疗效,肺癌患者在采用其他方法治疗的同时,也可选用食疗药膳配合治疗以提高疗效。

肺癌的食疗(一)

肺癌,又称原发性支气管癌,是一种最常见的肺部原发性恶性肿瘤。肺癌的发病率和死亡率 很高,尤其是在美、英、日等工业发达国家,其死亡率占男性癌症患者的首位,女性患者的第二位,仅次于乳腺癌。肺癌以45~75岁的中老年人较为多见,70 岁时达到高峰,之后略有下降。男性较女性较为多见,男女性之比约为2.3:1。
肺癌的病因与发病机理迄今尚不完全清楚,一般认为与长期大量 吸烟、大气污染,接触职业性致癌因素或理化性致癌因子以及病毒感染,食用真菌毒素(黄曲霉素),维生素A缺乏,免疫功能低下,内分泌失调,遗传等因素有 关。大量的研究资料表明,吸烟特别是纸烟与肺癌的关系最为密切,约有75%的肺癌患者均有重度吸烟史。肺癌患者中吸香烟的死亡率远较不吸烟者高出 10~13倍。而且吸烟年数越大,吸烟量越多,吸烟年龄越早,其死亡率越高。香烟含有多种致癌物质,其中最重要者为苯并芘 (benzocopyrene)。大气污染也是肺癌的一个重要成因。大气中的主要致癌物质同样为苯并芘,苯并芘的主要来源为煤碳和石油的燃烧,另外内燃机 和汽车的废气以及马路上的沥青等,也含有大量的苯并芘。
肺癌依其生长的解剖学部位的不同可分为中央型肺癌和周围型肺癌。前者生长于肺门附 近,后者生长于肺的边缘部位。依其组织细胞学特征的不同可分为磷状上皮细胞癌,小细胞未分化癌,大细胞未分化癌,腺癌及细支气管——肺泡癌等五种类型。

食管癌的食疗(二)


文:刘哲峰博士
食管癌的病因尚不完全清楚,可能与多种因素的综合作用有关。一般认为与个人的生活饮食 习惯以及当地的自然地理环境等因素有关。具体包括饮食因素,慢性疾病因素,水土因素和遗传因素等。饮食因素包括食物过硬,过于粗糙;食物过热,进食速度过 快;喝酒、抽烟,喝浓茶;过食辣椒、蒜、醋等辛辣煎炸、刺激性食物;过食酸菜、豆酱、萝卜干、咸鱼、薯干、叉烧、肉干、鱼露等腌腊熏烤等不新鲜食物及霉变 花生、玉米等腐烂变质食物;少食维他命A、维他命C含量丰富的新鲜蔬菜和水果。
慢性疾病因素则包括慢性食管炎,食管良性狭窄,食管粘膜白斑 病、食管贲门失驰缓症等慢性食管病变导致食管粘膜遭受长期慢性刺激有关。水土因素是指当地水土中缺乏钼、铜、钴、锰、铁、镍、锌等微量元素。遗传因素则是 指患者通常有食管癌阳性家族史。
食管癌的早期症状并不明显,有时仅觉吞咽不适,进食时有食物停滞感或噎塞感,随着病情的进一步发展可出现进 行性吞咽困难,起初为干饭难以下咽,之后为半流食、流食,最后连水都难以下咽。吞咽疼痛,食物下咽时胸骨后灼痛或钝痛,疼痛有时也可涉及胸骨上凹、肩胛、 颈背等部位。食管反流,常吐出泡沫状粘液,有时带有血液,或夹杂有具有酵臭味的隔日或隔餐食物,甚至可见坏死脱落组织,晚期可出现慢性脱水、营养不良、消 瘦及恶病质等危重证情。侵犯喉返神经也可导致声音嘶哑,侵及气管,支气管或纵隔时也可出现呛咳、肺部感染、颈胸皮下气肿等症。

食管癌的食疗(一)


文:刘哲峰博士
食管癌是指发生于食管粘膜鳞状上皮的恶性肿瘤,为消化道的常见恶性肿瘤,其发病率仅次 于胃癌。食管癌多发生于40岁以上的中老年人,以50~69岁的男性较为多见,男女之比约为1.3~2.7:1。食管癌的死亡率很高,约占男性恶性肿瘤死 亡率的第二位,仅次于胃癌,位居女性恶性肿瘤的第三位,仅次于胃癌和宫颈癌。
食管癌的发病部位以食管中部较为多见,约占50%,下段、上段 则较为少见,分别约占30%和20%。发生于上中段的食管癌多为鳞状细胞癌,发生于下段者则可见腺癌。鳞状细胞癌约占食管癌的90%,腺癌则较为少见,至 于恶性程度很高的未分化癌及预后良好的癌肉瘤则更为罕见。早期食管癌依据食管镜检或活组织检验可区分为隐伏型,糜烂型,斑块型和乳头型四种类型。中晚期食 管癌则在肉眼下可区分为髓质型,蕈伞型,溃疡型,缩窄型及未定型等五种类型。
