Best Stomach Cancer Screening Services - Early Detection Tests

Advanced Stomach Cancer Screening - Early & Accurate Detection

Stomach cancer screening aims to detect gastric malignancies early before symptoms develop, maximizing the chances for curable treatment or even opting for an advance treatment at an early stage which improves the disease prognosis by 90%. It detects precancerous changes or early tumors, thereby reducing mortality.

Overview of Common Screening Tests

• •Gastroscopy (endoscopy)
  The primary and most effective screening test allowing visualization and biopsy of abnormal tissue.
• •H. pylori testing
  Eliminating this infection reduces gastric cancer risk indirectly.
• •Blood tests for risk markers
  Serum pepsinogen, gastrin, and H. pylori antibodies support risk stratification.
• •Imaging
  CT scans or PET-CT are used for staging in high-risk or symptomatic cases.

Types of Stomach Cancer Screening

Gastroscopy (Endoscopy)

Allows direct visualization and targeted biopsy - the gold standard for early detection, especially in high-prevalence areas.

Non-Invasive Tests & Biomarkers

Serum pepsinogen levels and H. pylori serology help identify at-risk populations but are not screening tests by themselves.

Imaging

CT and PET are diagnostic tools, not screening, but are critical for staging after an abnormal screening result.

Clinical Evaluation & Risk Stratification

Identification of high-risk groups (family history, precancerous lesions, infections) determines who should undergo endoscopic screening.

Screening Process- for stomach cancer

Booking & Pre-Procedure Instructions

Patients should inform their doctor of symptoms or risk factors. Fasting before gastroscopy improves safety and visualization.

During Screening

Gastroscopy involves passing a flexible tube through the mouth to examine the stomach lining; biopsies are taken as needed.

Results & Follow-Up

Biopsy results take a few days. Normal findings lead to routine surveillance; abnormal results require further management plans.

Screening Guidelines & Recommended Frequency

Routine screening is generally not for the entire population but reserved for high-risk groups.

High-risk individuals (family history, gastric precancerous changes, H. pylori infection) should consider endoscopy every 1–3 years.

Screening intervals are personalized based on the severity of findings.

High-Risk Groups for Screening

• •Genetic/familial risk:
  Multiple affected relatives or hereditary syndromes.
• •Environmental factors:
  High salt, smoked foods, smoking, H. pylori infection.
• •Age:
  Middle-aged and older adults in endemic zones.
