What kind of examination is done for gastric cancer? There are mainly four categories

The main examinations for gastric cancer include: barium meal examination, which is a commonly used method for diagnosing gastric cancer and can diagnose early gastric cancer; gastroscopy, which is the most effective method for diagnosing gastric cancer and can directly observe the location and range of gastric mucosal lesions, and can obtain lesion tissue for pathological examination; B-ultrasound, which is used to diagnose whether gastric cancer has metastasis to adjacent organs; CT examination, which can determine the status of lymph nodes and distant metastatic lesions.

Gastric cancer is a very serious disease. It is the most common of all malignant tumors in my country and mostly occurs in the north. The ratio of male to female patients is 2:1. There are many causes of gastric cancer, such as dietary problems, Helicobacter pylori infection, or genetic consequences. The trauma it causes to patients is incomparable, and the psychological trauma is even more severe. So, what tests should be done for gastric cancer?
Patients with gastric cancer need to undergo blood tests. They often have varying degrees of anemia and increased blood coagulation. Gastric juice examination shows that the gastric juice may be mixed with blood or brown sediment. Insufficient gastric acid. Increased lactic acid concentration. X-ray barium meal examination is one of the important diagnostic methods. The X-ray signs of early gastric cancer are difficult to detect, and the positive rate of barium meal in middle and late stage gastric cancer is as high as 90%. Fiber gastroscopy is an effective early diagnosis method. Biopsy combined with cytology can improve the diagnosis rate of gastric cancer.
For the examination of gastric cancer, there are blood routine examination, X-ray barium meal examination, abdominal ultrasound and CT examination, fiber gastroscopy, etc. After all the regular examinations are confirmed, the patient should immediately undergo comprehensive treatment and ensure that there is enough confidence. There are many ways to treat gastric cancer. At present, the most commonly used is surgical treatment, that is, the part of the lesion that is wrapped or soaked in the stomach wall is completely removed to avoid the occurrence of spread. In addition, there are chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which are combined with multiple treatment methods and have better effects.
Endoscopic ultrasound: The use of a high-frequency small probe can more clearly show the depth and range of lesion infiltration. EUS can also be used to determine whether there is regional lymph node metastasis. It is generally believed that round, low-echo or uneven internal echoes and internal echoes that are the same as the tumor site are mostly metastatic lymph nodes, and inflammatory lymph nodes are mostly high-echo, oval, and blurred. EUS can also accurately stage gastric cancer and guide treatment; it can also be used for postoperative follow-up to detect residual cancer or recurrent cancer.
Patients need to pay attention during the treatment process. First, build confidence, never be easily defeated by the disease, and keep the patient's family members around to take care of them. Secondly, pay attention to diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat less greasy and spicy food that is not easy to digest. For patients with gastric cancer and chemotherapy, the treatment process will have a great impact on the patient's appearance, such as a large amount of hair loss and unbearable body pain. Patients must face up to, persist, and believe in themselves.
