What are the diagnostic criteria for early gastric cancer

What are the diagnostic criteria for early gastric cancer? For gastric cancer, a malignant tumor with extremely serious harm, what we need to do is to race against time. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment can prevent the disease from developing in the worst direction. Especially the diagnosis of early gastric cancer is very important. Let us learn about the diagnostic criteria for early gastric cancer.

Symptoms of early gastric cancer are atypical. When there are increased pain, frequent attacks, heartburn, unexplained anemia, etc., you should be alert to gastric cancer. Diagnosis mainly relies on gastroscopy and biopsy tissue pathology.

1. Fiberoptic gastroscopy: It can directly observe the location and range of gastric mucosal lesions and obtain lesion tissue for pathological examination. It is the most effective method for diagnosing gastric cancer. Using a fiberoptic gastroscope with an ultrasound probe to perform ultrasound detection and imaging of the lesion area helps to understand the depth of tumor infiltration and whether there is invasion and metastasis of surrounding organs and lymph nodes.

2. Biopsy and histopathological examination: In the diagnosis of gastric cancer, gastric biopsy has the characteristics of accurate diagnosis, simple operation, low risk, low pain, and low cost. What is more meaningful is that gastric biopsy can not only detect cells that have already become cancerous, but also detect cells that have not yet become cancerous but have a tendency to become cancerous. Canceration goes through the following stages: normal mucosa - mucosal dysplasia - cell canceration - cancer cell invasive growth - cancer cell spread. Biopsy can detect the mucosal dysplasia stage before canceration, which other examination methods cannot compare.

Biopsy is the abbreviation for taking diseased tissue from a patient for pathological examination. This examination method helps to diagnose the disease and judge the efficacy of the treatment in a timely and accurate manner. There are many types of stomach diseases, such as gastritis, chronic gastric ulcer, gastric polyp, gastric cancer, gastric lymphoma, gastric schistosomiasis, etc. Most of them can be detected through gastric biopsy. Especially in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer, it can be called a magic weapon for early diagnosis of gastric cancer.

The emergence of gastric cancer has seriously affected our lives and health. In order to avoid the occurrence of this disease, everyone must take daily preventive measures, change the diet structure, eat more vegetables, fruits, beans and milk, fresh fish, meat, eggs. It is recommended to eat garlic and green tea. Avoid overeating and irregular meals; do not eat too fast, too hot, or too hard; eat less smoked and pickled foods, and avoid a high-salt diet.
