Dr. Sun Qifeng
After surgery for esophageal cancer, patients can usually consume millet and Chinese yam porridge, as it is rich in vitamins and can help strengthen the spleen, benefit the stomach, and improve appetite. Patients may also eat japonica rice vegetable porridge, which contains abundant dietary fiber that promotes intestinal motility and helps alleviate postoperative constipation.
