Gastric Cancer Diagnosis
In today's era of rapid advances in medical technology, the "arsenal" to fight disease is becoming more and more abundant, and the means of disease detection are also changing with each passing day. Take gastric cancer as an example. A variety of cutting-edge and effective diagnostic methods are like bright lights. They can not only accurately identify this "health killer" hidden in the stomach, but also analyze the condition from all angles, tailor the best treatment path for patients, and light up the light of hope for recovery.
Experts from Guangzhou R&F Hospital International Cancer Hospital remind everyone earnestly: Once the body sends out an "alarm" of suspected gastric cancer, such as repeated bloating and discomfort in the upper abdomen, unexplained acid reflux and heartburn, quiet weight loss, or the discovery of black stools, do not take chances, and rush to the hospital as soon as possible to start the journey of accurate diagnosis.
I. Gastroscopy: A “scout” of the microscopic world of the stomach
Gastroscopy can be regarded as the "trump card weapon" for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. It is like a "scout" that penetrates deep into the microscopic world of the stomach. With its slender and flexible body, it can overcome all obstacles and reach deep into the stomach. Not only can it discern the smallest details and accurately distinguish between benign and malignant ulcers that look similar, but it can also "draw a picture" of gastric cancer, determine its type, and carefully outline the boundaries and scope of lesion infiltration.
II. X-ray diagnosis: penetrating the surface and discovering the "hidden enemy"
Don’t underestimate X-ray diagnosis, it has the magical ability of “X-ray vision”. When the "seeds" of gastric cancer hide quietly in the mucosa or submucosa, trying to hide from the outside world, X-rays can penetrate layers of tissue, leaving these hidden cancer cells nowhere to hide.
III. CT Scan: 360° Insight into Cancer Cell Movements
CT scan is like a comprehensive "health scanner", which provides us with a new perspective of 360° insight into the "movements" of cancer cells. It can clearly present the "expansion map" of cancer cells inside and outside the stomach wall. No matter whether they are "eroding" into the stomach cavity or "spreading" outside the stomach cavity, nothing can escape its "eyes."
IV. Ultrasound endoscopy: a new technology that draws a “panoramic picture” of tumors
As a "technological new star" in the field of diagnosis, ultrasonic endoscopy combines the dual advantages of ultrasound and endoscopy, providing doctors with a new dimension of observation. It can directly penetrate the stomach wall and unveil the mystery of the tumor layer by layer, allowing doctors to feel as if they are inside the stomach wall and fully understand the overall picture of the tumor, from its size, shape to its relationship with surrounding tissues, without missing anything.
In the field of gastric disease examination, Guangzhou R&F Hospital International Cancer Hospital introduced a cutting-edge technology - (Smart Capsule Digestive Endoscopy System)
image.pngThere is no need to go through the discomfort of traditional gastroscopy. Patients only need to take a special "capsule" with water like taking normal medicine, and a wonderful journey of exploring the digestive tract will begin. This small "capsule", with the help of the natural peristalsis of the gastrointestinal muscles, moves steadily along the established route of stomach-duodenum-jejunum and ileum-colon-rectum, turning into a tireless "
The device is called a "digestive tract photographer". It takes photos as it moves, and transmits the images of the areas it passes through in real time to the recording device carried by the patient in the form of digital signals.
The duration is about 8-10 hours, during which patients can arrange their time freely and leave the hospital to work and live normally without any restrictions. When the time comes, the patient only needs to send the data recorder back to the hospital. The doctor can then use the nearly 80,000 high-definition photos in the recorder, just like flipping through a detailed "atlas" of the digestive tract, to accurately check whether there are any signs of lesions in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, and make a quick and accurate diagnosis. The "capsule" that has completed its mission will eventually be excreted from the body quietly along with the feces. The whole process is safe and worry-free.
Cancer experts from Guangzhou R&F Hospital International Cancer Hospital solemnly remind you: An accurate diagnosis of gastric cancer is like the first beacon that illuminates the road to fighting cancer. Only in this way can doctors tailor the most reasonable treatment plan for patients, comprehensively improve the effectiveness of gastric cancer treatment, and help patients return to a healthy life as soon as possible.
