What are the auxiliary examinations for gastric cancer

The first auxiliary examination for gastric cancer is endoscopic examination. Fiber gastroscopy is an effective method for diagnosing early gastric cancer. It can directly observe the lesion site and perform biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Up to now, the detection of early gastric cancer mainly relies on gastroscopy. Suspicious lesions can be found in the gastroscopy. At present, the lesions can even be magnified 80-100 times, which is equivalent to seeing the lesions under a microscope, which can improve the accuracy of diagnosis. Even in the early stages of gastric cancer, auxiliary examinations are still needed. Through ultrasound examinations, CT examinations, and MRI examinations, etc., observe whether there is metastasis and invasion of nearby tissues and organs, so as to clarify further surgical resection treatment plans.

How long can I live if stomach cancer spreads?

The spread of gastric cancer depends on the situation. If it spreads in the late stage, the longest life span will not exceed one year. If it is removed by radical surgery in the early stage, the survival rate can reach 70% to 80%. If you actively cooperate with drug treatment in normal times, the normal life span is the same as that of normal people, and you can live and work normally. If complications such as obstruction and gastrointestinal bleeding occur, palliative surgery is mainly used to extend the survival period and improve the quality of life as much as possible through these treatments. If gastric cancer cells have spread, the general life span is about three months. If it is well controlled, the life span will be about one year, but this varies from person to person.

Will gastritis and gastric ulcers for many years lead to gastric cancer?

If you do not receive effective and active treatment, and do not pay attention to your diet and allow the disease to develop, it may cause the ulcer surface to become deeper and deeper, and abnormal proliferation may occur, which will eventually lead to gastric cancer. Gastric ulcer is also an important factor leading to gastric cancer. The situation you are worried about does exist. Patients with gastritis and gastric ulcers may develop gastric cancer after repeated attacks for many years, but the canceration rate is relatively low.
