How to check for stomach cancer?

Cancer is a very serious disease and is very difficult to treat. Gastric cancer requires a detailed examination and the appropriate treatment method should be selected based on the physical condition. X-ray gastrointestinal angiography, physical examination, gastroscopy, spiral CT scan and ultrasound examination can be done to determine the physical condition.

1. Gastrointestinal radiography

This is a common method for diagnosing gastric cancer. Through double contrast imaging of the gastric barium, the gastric filling and mucosa are observed. Patients with early gastric cancer will have abnormal gastric mucosa.

2. Physical examination

Generally, patients with gastric cancer are thin, have yellow eyes and skin, and always have abdominal pain. When palpated for physical examination, they may find metastasis of the lymph nodes in the neck and obvious lumps or tenderness in the abdomen. An anal examination is also required to see if there are any lumps or bleeding.

3. Gastroscopy

This is a more reliable method, but the patient will suffer more. When the digestive tract tumor is not examined in the early stage, the diagnosis time will be delayed, and it will be too late to diagnose gastric cancer, making treatment very difficult.

4. Spiral CT scan

Reconstructible three-dimensional simulated endoscopy is a non-invasive examination method that uses discharge emission technology to observe lesions with a high accuracy rate.

5. Ultrasound examination

This is also a very simple method to observe the patient's stomach condition to see if there is any infiltration or lymph node metastasis. Medicine is very developed now. Once the early symptoms of gastric cancer appear, you need to cooperate with the doctor for examination and treatment, pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness, stay away from expired food, spoiled food, try not to eat overnight food, develop good eating habits, avoid irritating the stomach and serious diseases, which are very harmful to the body.

The above introduces some methods for checking gastric cancer. The above methods are relatively common. Generally speaking, a regular large hospital can conduct a clear examination, observe the physical condition, and actively treat it in the right way. Although gastric cancer is a serious disease, adjusting the mentality and actively facing reasonable treatment can also make the treatment effect better and the recovery effect better.
