Stomach Cancer Diagnosis


FAQ

How is stomach cancer diagnosed?

Stomach cancer is diagnosed through a combination of medical history assessment, physical examination, imaging tests (such as CT scans or upper endoscopy), and biopsy of suspicious areas for laboratory analysis.

Is stomach cancer more common in certain populations or regions?

Stomach cancer incidence varies across populations and regions. It is more common in Eastern Asia, Eastern Europe, and parts of South America. In developed countries, the incidence has decreased over the years.

Can endoscopy detect precancerous changes in the stomach lining?

Yes, endoscopy can detect precancerous changes in the stomach lining. During an endoscopy, the doctor can examine the stomach lining for abnormalities such as dysplasia, which is a precancerous condition. Biopsy samples can be taken during the procedure to further evaluate and confirm the presence of precancerous changes. Early detection of these changes can help in the prevention and early treatment of stomach cancer.
