matters needing attention

For the diagnosis of gastric cancer and gastric ulcer, biopsy can make a definite diagnosis, but it must be emphasized that for those who suspect gastric cancer and have a negative biopsy, gastroscopy should be reexamined in a short time for re biopsy; Even if the endoscopic diagnosis of benign ulcer and biopsy negative, there is still the possibility of missed diagnosis of gastric cancer, so for the first diagnosis of gastric ulcer, gastroscopy review must be carried out after the completion of the regular treatment course. The reduction or healing of ulcer by gastroscopy review is not the final basis for differentiating benign and malignant ulcer, it must be confirmed by repeated biopsy.
