What are the methods for checking gastric cancer?

Many patients feel very scared when they hear about gastric cancer. Once they have gastric cancer, they should pay more attention. There are many ways to check for gastric cancer in life. The first thing to do is gastroscopy, which can correctly check for gastric cancer. Let's take a look at the following methods of checking for gastric cancer!

1. Fiber gastroscopy

Fiber gastroscopy is one of the more important common methods for diagnosing gastric cancer. This method can not only observe directly under the naked eye, but also brush cells and do tissue biopsy for pathological examination. After gastroscopy observation and pathological examination, most of the diagnoses can be confirmed, especially for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer, which is better than X-ray barium meal examination. With the application and popularization of gastroscopy in recent years, the diagnosis rate of early gastric cancer has also greatly increased, and it has become the most accurate method for diagnosing gastric cancer.

2. X-ray barium meal examination

This method can be used for diagnosis to detect irregular filling defects, niches, interrupted gastric mucosa, rigid gastric wall, and loss of peristalsis in the gastric cavity. However, it should be noted that the diagnosis of leather stomach is better than gastroscopy.

3. Gastric Juice Analysis

This method has certain significance for the diagnosis of gastric cancer, and it is simple and easy to use. Gastric acid is low, or there is no free acid. Cancer cells are checked in gastric washing fluid, and the stool occult blood test is continuously positive, which can help with the diagnosis.

4. Biochemical and immunological diagnosis

This method has the advantages of easy sampling and less pain for patients, but it has a high false positive rate and lacks sensitivity in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer.

Patients are clear about the methods of gastric cancer examination. Patients should pay attention to it and pay more attention to this disease in life. Patients should eat more light foods and eat small meals frequently. Patients should pay more attention not to delay the best treatment time and must be careful and pay attention to their diet.
