How does esophagus cancer do examination

First of all: there are many ways to check esophageal cancer. In the examination methods of esophageal cancer, the location and scope of esophageal lesions are directly observed by endoscopy. Generally, the diagnosis is made by taking out the cells or part of the tissue in the lesion area of esophageal wall by endoscopy.

Secondly, there is another kind of examination that requires patients to drink barium developer. Barium developer can adhere to the surface of esophagus in our body and show the degree and lesion of esophageal obstruction by X-ray. So we can show it effectively.

Finally: esophageal cancer can also choose to use chest X-ray, computed tomography, abdominal ultrasound, positron emission tomography and a series of methods to assess whether our body's esophageal cancer has metastasized.

matters needing attention

For patients with esophageal cancer, a healthy and clean environment is more conducive to the recovery of the disease. Therefore, patients who can take care of themselves should do a good job in personal hygiene, frequently change and wash clothes, tableware and sanitary tools, so as to reduce the breeding of bacteria and prevent infection. For the patients who can't take care of themselves, their family members should do a good job of personal hygiene instead.
