How does esophagus cancer check diagnose

summary

My aunt felt sore throat. After going to the hospital for examination, she had no problem, so she took a rest at home for a certain period of time, but her condition still did not improve. When she went to the hospital for reexamination, she found that she was suffering from esophageal cancer. Today, let me talk about how to make a diagnosis of esophageal cancer.

How does esophagus cancer check diagnose

First: X-ray barium meal examination: in addition to the very early esophageal cancer is not easy to show, experienced radiologists fully adjust the barium, so that the patient swallows in small mouthfuls, multi-directional careful observation and air barium double contrast, most of them can find esophageal mucosa thickening, tortuous or dotted line interruption; or esophageal edge hair; or small filling defect; or small niche shadow; or local tube wall stiffness; or small filling defect; Or there are barium retention and other signs of early cancer.

Second: esophageal CT scan: CT scan can clearly show the relationship between esophagus and adjacent mediastinal organs. The boundary between the normal esophagus and its adjacent organs is clear, and the thickness of the esophageal wall is not more than 5mm. If the thickness of the esophageal wall increases and the boundary between the normal esophagus and its adjacent organs is fuzzy, it indicates that the esophageal lesions exist. Exfoliative cytology of esophageal mucosa: this method is simple, less pain and low false positive rate, so it is the first choice for early diagnosis of esophageal cancer.

Third: esophageal endoscopic ultrasonography in recent years, esophageal endoscopic ultrasonography gradually applied to clinical. The advantages of this method are that it can accurately measure the depth of the lesion in the esophageal wall; it can measure the extramural abnormal enlarged lymph nodes; it can easily distinguish the lesion in the esophageal wall. The role of chest CT scan in the diagnosis of esophageal cancer varies, but it is helpful to the staging, resection and prognosis of esophageal cancer.
