Stomach cancer diagnosis

Gastroenterologist-oncologist will carefully examine all the patient's previous medical records and ask about all necessary details, details, and complaints. Then, the doctor will proceed to the general examination, which might include many basic procedures. After that, the physician will come up with a possible diagnosis and assign various lab tests and other diagnostic procedures. Ultrasound imaging of an abdomen will help get more information about the primary tumor and collect some information about possible metastatic lesions. CT scan of the stomach helps to get more information about the condition of gastric tumors and clarify the state of other organs. Lab tests (complete blood count, biochemical blood tests, urinalysis, etc. ) will help get more information about the patient's condition and suspect possible metastases. Gastroscopy is a procedure that can help oncologists look at the tumor via camera without surgery and take a part of it for examination. After local anesthesia, optic fiber with a camera inserts via the mouth into the esophagus to examine the stomach. Biopsy and further histopathological examination often use to know more about the features of cancer. In addition, it might help to create a more suitable treatment plan.
