The discovery of early gastric cancer can effectively improve the prognosis

Gastric cancer is a highly lethal type of cancer that seriously threatens our health, and the incidence rate among young and middle-aged people is increasing year by year. Regarding the treatment of gastric cancer, experts say that early gastric cancer is the key to treatment. Today, we invite experts to tell us in detail about early gastric cancer .

The key to improving the prognosis of gastric cancer patients is to carry out secondary prevention, that is, the detection and treatment of early gastric cancer. The 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced gastric cancer after surgical resection is only 30-40%, while the 5-year survival rate of early gastric cancer (EGC), that is, cancer cells only infiltrate the gastric mucosa and submucosa, can be 80-90% after surgical treatment regardless of whether there is lymph node metastasis. Among them, the 10-year survival rate of small gastric cancer (SGC) and micro gastric cancer (MGC) in the initial stage can reach 100%. Therefore, timely and accurate detection and treatment of early gastric cancer are of great significance to reducing the mortality rate of gastric cancer.

X-ray diagnosis of early gastric cancer: Early gastric cancer refers to tumors confined to the mucosa or submucosa, regardless of the size or presence of lymph node metastasis. Gastric hypotonic double contrast radiography combined with fiber gastroscopy is of great value in detecting early gastric cancer.
