There are several tests to examine this organ. One of the main ones is gastroscopy, which uses a small probe to examine the esophagus and duodenum. This allows doctors to assess the condition of the stomach and identify any abnormalities.
Another less invasive and inexpensive test is the gastropanel, a simple analysis of body fluids that allows the evaluation of the inside of the stomach and its mucosa without the need for gastroscopy, making it possible to detect dangerous conditions, including cancer .The stomach is the organ responsible for digestion. Its health is essential, as it allows the body to break down food
X-ray of stomach cancer : gastric tumor
Recent research presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2024 highlighted very specific conditions that could lead to a diagnosis of stomach cancer years earlier, allowing for timely treatment.
According to the study’s authors, led by Dr. Shruthi Reddy Perati of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, this signal could be detected directly in the mouth through changes in bacterial composition. Of 98 patients examined while awaiting a gastroscopy, a third of whom had gastric cancer, those with bacteria such as Helicobacter, Selenomonas, and Lactobacillus in their mouths were found to be more likely to develop stomach cancer, while healthier individuals had bacteria such as Parabacteroides, Alistipes, and Phascolarctobacterium.
