Foods that kidney cancer patients should avoid
Disease description:
Recently, a friend of mine had been feeling some discomfort in his chest. After going to the hospital for a checkup, he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and has been receiving treatment there. I plan to visit him soon, so I'd like to know what foods should be avoided by patients with kidney cancer?

Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Kidney cancer patients should generally avoid consuming high-salt, high-protein, and processed foods such as cured meat, pickled vegetables, and crab, to prevent increased kidney burden and worsening of discomfort symptoms. At the same time, patients should actively quit smoking, avoid alcohol consumption, and stay away from secondhand smoke to prevent adverse effects on their recovery.
