Now let me tell you how to detect gastric cancer.

How to detect gastric cancer

First: physical examination. The doctor gave the patient a comprehensive physical examination. Whether there is obvious emaciation, jaundice (skin, eyes, sclera yellow), whether there is obvious abdominal distension; touch inspection, such as touching the neck, to determine whether there is obvious cervical lymph node metastasis; touch the abdomen, to determine whether there is tenderness, whether there is obvious abdominal mass, whether there is hepatosplenomegaly, etc; Sometimes also need to carry out anal digital examination to determine whether there is a tumor in the anus, whether there is blood in the anus and rectum, etc. Abdominal auscultation is also necessary to judge whether there is intestinal obstruction.

Second: gastroscopy. Among all kinds of examination methods, gastroscopy is recognized as the best method, especially in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. Gastroscopy can directly observe the lesions of gastric mucosa, especially for protuberant, swelling and ulcerative lesions, biopsy can be done at the same time to make a clear diagnosis. Many people are more afraid of gastroscopy, think that gastroscopy is very painful, some patients in the early stage of upper gastrointestinal cancer did not check, so delayed diagnosis, until the late diagnosis of cancer, it is too late. 　　

Third: CT examination. Generally speaking, CT examination for solid organs is its strength, while the examination of hollow organs is just its weakness. For gastric cancer, if CT is used to diagnose early gastric cancer, not to mention the need for special developer and expensive cost, the reliability of the examination is far less than that of gastrointestinal barium meal or gastroscopy. However, after the diagnosis of gastric cancer, CT can be used to know whether it has metastasized to liver and other organs, or whether it has metastasized and infiltrated lesions around the stomach, so as to determine whether it can be operated or confirmed The specific treatment plan was determined.
