What are the methods for checking gastric cancer? There are several methods

Clinically, the most commonly used examination method for gastric cancer is gastroscopy, which can more intuitively find the size, location and ulcer surface of the tumor. At the same time, a biopsy can be taken under gastroscopy for diagnosis. In addition, the diagnosis can be made through abdominal CT or MRI. Generally speaking, upper gastrointestinal barium meal is also commonly used, which can help diagnosis to a certain extent. Now with the development of medicine, there are more and more ways to check gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer is a common disease in medicine. When you go to the hospital to check your stomach, you usually need to do a gastroenteroscopy. Just hearing about gastroenteroscopy will make patients shudder, because gastroenteroscopy is a very painful examination method, but the examination rate is the most accurate. Now with the development of medicine, there are more and more ways to check gastric cancer. You can choose the examination method that suits you according to your own tolerance. Then let’s learn about the examination methods for gastric cancer?
Gastric cancer is a disease that endangers the patient's life. It is a malignant tumor with a relatively high incidence rate. There are several main methods for examining gastric cancer. One is a general physical examination, which checks the patient's medical history and symptoms to see if there is weight loss, jaundice, enlargement of superficial lymph nodes, abdominal masses, etc.
Another method is gastroscopy. Gastroscopy is recognized as the best method for diagnosing gastric cancer, especially in the early stage of diagnosis. Gastroscopy can clearly and directly observe the lesions of the gastric mucosa, especially for bulging, swollen, and ulcerative lesions. At the same time, biopsy can be performed, and a clear diagnosis can be made quickly.
When gastric cancer patients reach the late stage, the most effective thing is CT examination, which is mainly used to understand the metastasis of gastric cancer surrounding tissues, liver and other organs, or to find the situation of lymph nodes around cancer. CT examination is very effective. Gastrointestinal imaging technology is a common method for diagnosing gastric cancer. The main method is to use gas-barium double contrast to make a diagnosis by observing the gastric mucosa and filling phase. When suffering from early gastric cancer, the gastric mucosa will show certain abnormalities.
The incidence of gastric cancer has been gradually increasing in recent years. Most patients have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and a few will experience nausea, vomiting, or ulcer-like symptoms. Prevention is the main approach on weekdays. Eat more vegetables, fruits, fresh meat, milk and other foods, eat on time, do not overeat, eat less spicy, smoked, roasted, cold drinks and other irritating foods, drink less strong alcohol, and do not smoke.
