How to check for ulcerative gastric cancer

Gastric cancer is a relatively harmful disease that often causes great harm to the patient's physical and mental health. It is very important for gastric cancer patients to detect and treat the disease in time. Therefore, the diagnosis of early gastric cancer becomes very critical. Many people will ask how to check for ulcerative gastric cancer. Let us learn about this issue below.

Since most gastric cancers do not have very specific clinical symptoms in the early stages, people in middle age and old age who have stomach discomfort symptoms such as indigestion, as well as patients with precancerous lesions, must regularly undergo routine gastroscopy. Compared with imaging examinations, endoscopy has significant advantages. It can directly observe the morphology of lesions, has a wide field of view, strong resolution, and high biopsy accuracy.
Radiological examinations for early diagnosis of gastric cancer are also called gastric imaging examinations. Even if some lesions of early gastric cancer are found, it is very easy to cause misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Gastric imaging examinations include double contrast images, mucosal images, filling images, compression images and other examination methods. By comparison, it can be found that double contrast images and mucosal images can clearly show lesions, and compression images are particularly important for the display of lesions on the anterior wall of the lower stomach. The four examination methods can complement each other and improve the detection rate of malignant diseases.
