Can CT scan confirm gastric cancer? The examination effect is poor

CT is very common in today's life, and many diseases require CT examination, so CT plays a vital role in medicine. If gastric cancer is in the early stage, the lesions are quite small, and changes in the gastric mucosa are very difficult to detect now. Therefore, in the middle or late stage of gastric cancer, because the tumor is relatively large at this time, changes in the gastric wall can be seen under the guidance of CT, which indirectly reflects the occurrence of gastric cancer.

The reason why there are so many patients suffering from gastric cancer is that when stomach discomfort is discovered in the early stage, they are afraid of having a gastroscopy, so it develops into gastric cancer. Gastroscopy is indeed relatively uncomfortable, so many people will reject it. However, some people say that CT can also diagnose gastric cancer. So, can CT examination diagnose gastric cancer?
1. Can CT scan diagnose gastric cancer?
CT examination cannot detect gastric cancer, it can only be said to be an auxiliary examination for gastric cancer. The main examination for gastric cancer is still the examination of the scarf, and the blood test is also a routine examination. Only this method can accurately detect gastric cancer. CT examination is mainly used to examine substantial organs, such as the liver and pancreas, and the effect is relatively good; CT examination is less effective for hollow organs, and the stomach is a hollow organ, so CT examination of the stomach is relatively less effective.
2. How to detect gastric cancer
1. Upper abdominal distension <br/>Patients with gastric cancer usually experience upper abdominal distension after meals. In this case, it is likely a gastrointestinal problem, but decreased gastrointestinal digestive function can also lead to indigestion. Therefore, it cannot be simply regarded as an intestinal problem. If upper abdominal distension symptoms occur after a meal and there is no problem with digestive function, it is best to go to the hospital for consultation.
2. Abdominal pain that cannot be relieved by taking medicine <br/>When stomach pain occurs, if even taking medicine cannot relieve the stomach pain, then the problem is more serious. It can be relieved by taking some simple medicines. If the symptoms of abdominal pain and stomach pain continue to occur and cannot be relieved by taking medicine, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis.
3. Stomach pain <br/>The main symptom of gastric cancer is stomach pain, because gastric cancer causes great damage to the stomach. When you suffer from gastric cancer, your stomach will be abnormally painful. In severe cases, it may cause vomiting blood and bloody stools. If the above situation occurs, you should go to the hospital in time to check the condition of your stomach.
