What is required for the diagnosis and examination of cardiac cancer

What are the diagnostic tests for cardiac cancer? Many patients and their families do not know that timely diagnostic tests for cardiac cancer are beneficial to later treatment. Now, experts will introduce to you what is needed for the diagnostic tests for cardiac cancer .

1. Endoscopic examination: Fiberoptic esophagoscopy or gastroscopy can be used as an important method for the diagnosis of cardiac cancer. It can understand the location, length, degree of esophageal stenosis, etc. of the lesion. If the diagnosis of cardiac cancer is not clearly confirmed, an endoscopic review should be performed in the short term.

2. B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination of the cardia can clearly reveal the location, shape, size, relationship with surrounding tissues, depth of cancer invasion into the esophagus, and whether nearby lymph nodes are enlarged, which is helpful for early diagnosis of cardia cancer and esophageal cancer.

3. CT examination: CT examination of cardia cancer can understand the relationship between the cardia, esophagus and surrounding organs. It can also examine the tumor invasion, size, location, thickening of the esophageal wall, upper esophageal dilatation, lymph node and distant organ metastasis, etc. It is helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cardia cancer.

4. X-ray barium meal examination: X-ray barium meal examination is an important diagnostic examination method for cardiac cancer. In the early stage, it manifests as subtle mucosal changes, and ulcer niches and not very obvious filling defects can be found. X-ray observation of advanced cardiac cancer is very clear, including soft tissue shadows, ulcers, filling defects, mucosal destruction, niches, invasion of the lower esophagus, twisted and narrowed cardiac passages, and infiltration of the gastric fundus, greater and lesser curvatures, and stiffening of the gastric wall and reduced gastric volume. In the early X-ray barium meal examination, fiber gastroscopy combined with brush cytology and biopsy pathology must be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

5. Cytology: Cytology is also called net cytology. The positive rate of cytology for cardia cancer is lower than that for esophageal cancer. For patients who have failed to find lesions after repeated barium meal fluoroscopy and fiberscope examination or have suspicious lesions but have not been diagnosed, net cytology can improve the detection rate. Net cytology can provide a good basis for diagnosis.
