What are the main methods for checking gastric cancer? Do these five treatments

Nowadays, medicine is very advanced. You can choose the examination method that suits you according to your physical condition. Once abnormal symptoms appear, you can confirm the diagnosis through X-ray gastrointestinal imaging technology, physical examination, gastroscopy, spiral CT scan, ultrasound examination, etc. If it is confirmed to be gastric cancer, early treatment is very important, otherwise it will be life-threatening, so you must go for treatment as soon as possible.

If you go to the hospital to check whether your stomach has cancer, you usually need to do a gastroenteroscopy. Just hearing about gastroenteroscopy will make patients shudder, because gastroenteroscopy is a particularly painful examination method, but the detection rate is very high. Now with the development of medicine, the methods of detecting gastric cancer are constantly increasing. So what are the main examination methods for gastric cancer?
1. X-ray gastrointestinal imaging technology <br/>Digital X-ray gastrointestinal imaging is a common method for diagnosing gastric cancer. The main method is to observe the gastric mucosa and the filling phase and use gas-barium double contrast for diagnosis.
2. Physical examination <br/>In addition, the patient can also undergo a comprehensive physical examination to see if there is obvious body weight loss, yellow skin and eyes, and obvious abdominal pain. Touch the patient, such as touching the neck to see if there is obvious cervical lymph node metastasis, touching the abdomen to see if there is any pain or obvious abdominal mass, and if there is significant swelling of the liver and spleen, in addition to the anal examination, it is also necessary to observe whether there is blood, etc.
3. Gastroscopy <br/>So far, gastroscopy is a relatively reliable method for future examinations. It can detect early symptoms of early cancer, but it is very painful to do a gastroscopy. Some patients did not undergo examinations in the early stages of gastrointestinal tumors, which delayed the diagnosis. They were not diagnosed with gastric cancer until the late stages, which was already in the late stages.
4. Spiral CT scan <br/>Spiral CT can also be used to reconstruct a three-dimensional image and simulate an endoscopy. It is a new type of non-invasive examination method, which mainly uses a discharge emission imaging technology to determine the status of lymph nodes and distant metastatic lesions. It has a relatively high accuracy rate in detecting gastric cancer.
5. Ultrasound examination <br/>In addition, the simplest method is to do an abdominal ultrasound examination, which is mainly to observe whether the patient's stomach-adjacent organs, such as the liver and pancreas, have been infiltrated and the situation of lymph node metastasis.
