Two common diagnostic methods for cardiac cancer

It is understood that many patients with cardia cancer have delayed treatment because they did not discover cardia cancer in time, which has caused great harm to their health. So what are the common diagnostic methods for cardia cancer ? The following will tell you about the common diagnostic methods for cardia cancer.

In general, the common diagnostic methods for cardiac cancer are:

1. X-ray barium meal examination: X-ray barium meal examination is an important diagnostic method for cardiac cancer. In the early stage, it manifests as subtle mucosal changes, and ulcer niches and not very obvious filling defects can be found. X-ray observation of advanced cardiac cancer is very clear, including soft tissue shadows, ulcers, filling defects, mucosal destruction, niches, invasion of the lower esophagus, twisted and narrowed cardiac passages, and infiltration of the gastric fundus, greater and lesser curvatures, and stiffening of the gastric wall and reduced gastric volume. In the early X-ray barium meal examination, fiber gastroscopy combined with brushing cytology and biopsy pathology must be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

2. CT examination: CT examination of cardiac cancer can understand the relationship between the cardiac part, esophagus and surrounding organs. The tumor infiltration, size, location, thickening of the esophageal wall, upper esophageal dilatation, lymph node and distant organ metastasis are very helpful for the diagnosis of cardiac cancer.

The above is an introduction to the common diagnosis methods of cardiac cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once diagnosed with cardiac cancer, you must immediately go to a regular hospital for treatment to avoid delaying the disease.
