Gastroscopy for esophageal cancer

Nowadays, patients with esophageal cancer sometimes feel panic about the examination, thinking that it will be very painful, and dare not go for further examination. In fact, there is no need to worry. If you learn about the application of painless gastroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer, you will know that with the development of medicine, the examination of esophageal cancer will not be painful! Let's take a closer look at the gastroscopy examination for esophageal cancer.

During ordinary electronic gastroscopy, most patients feel nausea and vomiting, and are often nervous, anxious, and fearful. Therefore, many patients often refuse to undergo the examination, which delays diagnosis and treatment. With the development of medical technology and the improvement of people's living standards, it has become a pursuit of medical professionals to allow patients to undergo gastroscopy and treatment in a safe and painless state. Painless gastroscopy was born under this requirement.

Electronic gastroscopy is widely used in the clinical diagnosis of esophageal cancer. The fiber endoscope (electronic gastroscopy) is thin and soft, easy to bend, less painful for patients, and doctors can directly see certain conditions of the examined organ, which is better than X-ray barium meal examination. It can detect lesions, determine the nature of lesions, and take small specimens from the lesion site for pathological examination. In recent years, the emergence of electronic gastroscopy can reflect the examination results on the fluorescent screen, so that the operator and more people can find lesions through the fluorescent screen, and it can also record the video for reference.

Four advantages of painless gastroscopy

No pain: Patients do not feel any discomfort during the examination and treatment process. It is an ideal choice for patients who are nervous and afraid of gastroscopy. Less trauma: Under the painless electronic gastroscopy, a number of minimally invasive treatments can be performed for gastrointestinal bleeding, polyps, and ulcer stenosis, saving patients from the pain of surgery. Short time: Excluding the preparation time before the examination, it can be completed within a few minutes from the beginning of the examination. More accurate: The electronic gastroscopy has advantages that cannot be replaced by other examination methods at present, especially some minor lesions and even lesions in the mucosal layer, which can be clearly diagnosed. And it has a magnification function, which further increases the accuracy of diagnosis.

Examination and treatment are carried out simultaneously

Examination: Under gastroscopy, pathological cell examination can be performed on the lesion tissue to clarify the nature of the lesion. This is the "gold standard" for diagnosing various chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, esophageal cancer, and gastric cancer. Treatment: Under gastroscopy, a variety of treatments can be carried out, including high-frequency electroresection of gastric polyps; endoscopic hemostasis by spraying, injection, and titanium clips; endoscopic resection of micro gastric cancer; endoscopic microwave treatment; endoscopic placement of esophageal stents, etc. Painless gastroscopy is known as the "guardian of the digestive tract". Gastrointestinal polyps and early malignant tumors can be directly removed under endoscopy, completely cured, and free of the pain of surgery. At the same time, it also saves patients a lot of medical expenses.

After reading the above introduction, you should have a certain understanding of the application of painless gastroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer. I hope that through the examination, esophageal cancer can be treated in time and health can be restored as soon as possible!
