How to check for esophageal cancer

Esophageal cancer diagnostic method 1. Examination of esophageal function:

1) Esophageal motility test: A) Esophageal pressure measurement, suitable for patients with suspected esophageal motility disorders; B) The acid clearance test is used to measure the peristaltic efficiency of the body of the esophagus in eliminating acid.

2) Gastroesophageal reflux measurement: A) Esophageal acid perfusion test; B) 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring; C) Lower esophageal sphincter manometry test.

Esophageal cancer diagnostic method 2. Esophageal exfoliated cytology examination:

Esophageal exfoliated cytology examination method is simple, convenient and safe to operate, causes little pain to the patient, and has an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is an important method for large-scale esophageal cancer screening. However, those with esophageal cancer who have bleeding and bleeding tendencies, or those with esophageal varices should not undergo esophageal mesh cytology examination; those with esophageal cancer with deep ulcers in the esophagus on X-rays or those with high blood pressure, heart disease, and late pregnancy, The esophageal mesh exfoliated cell examination should be performed with caution; for patients with poor general condition or too weak, the patient's general condition should be improved first before examination; for patients with acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and upper gastrointestinal tract, the infection should be controlled first before examination. Combined with X-ray barium meal examination, it can be used as the basis for diagnosis of esophageal cancer, saving most patients from the pain of esophagoscopy. However, when there is obstruction in esophageal stenosis, this method cannot be used, and esophagoscopy should be performed.

The effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is remarkable.
