Endoscopy Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (Jinshan Campus) introduced a secret weapon recently, with which early esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, bowel cancer will be easily found. Mr. Zhang is the beneficiary of this secret weapon.Before he went to our hospital, he always felt the stomach swelling. After tested in the endoscopic center with the secret weapon, he was found that there is a nail cap-sized lesions in the stomach. The biopsy test showed that it was stomach cancer. Since it was found early,Mr.Zhang did not need an open surgery,but only a minimally invasive small surgery to cut the lesion with the gastroscope. Neither did he need chemotherapy nor radiotherapy later.
This secret weapon is the blue laser magnifying endoscope!
As we all know, China has high incidence of esophageal cancer and stomach cancer. These digestive tract tumors usually shows no obvious symptoms,and most patients are found out when the cancer is already in the middle or late stage. The treatment effect of late- and middle-stage tumors is not ideal. But early tumors are different,the survival rate for early digestive tract tumor treatment after 5 years can be more than 90%. At present, gastroscopy and enteroscopy are still the most critical technical means to find early digestive tract tumors in worldwide. However, because of its limitation in clarity, brightness,and precision, early cancer detection rate is not ideal. The emergence of blue laser magnifying endoscopy broke this situation. It increases the function of electronic staining and high-magnification based on ordinary gastroscope and gastroscopy, so it helps doctorsto find the "killer” more efficiently and accurately.
Blue laser magnifying endoscope is a milestone in early cancer screening of the digestive tract. With blue laser magnifying endoscopy, early cancer detection rate will be greatly improved, more patients will be free from the pain of open surgery and chemotherapy, and be away from fear of cancer.Our Endoscopy Center has a group of professionally trained early cancer screening physicians who are very skilled in the use of blue laser magnifying endoscopy. Our experts often exchange their views with experts outside the hospital to achieve better and earlier detection of special lesions, especially of early cancer, for the benefit of the general public.
Who are suitable for blue laser magnifying endoscopes? We recommend that people ≥ 40 years of age meet any of the following criteria: 1. people in areas with high incidence of stomach cancer; 2.people with Helicobacter pylori infection; 3.people who previously suffering from chronic atrophic gastritis, stomach ulcers, stomach polyps, postoperative residual stomach, fertility Gastritis, malignant anemia, etc. 4.people whose parents, siblings or children have stomach cancer; 5. other high-risk factors for stomach cancer (high in salt for long period, pickled diet, smoking, heavy drinking and other bad living habits). Peoplewho meet the above conditions, whether or not there are symptoms of discomfort,are recommended to select the blue laser magnifying endoscope for screening as early as possible.
Our Digestive Group and endoscopy center staff, adhering to the concept of "discovery of a case of early cancer, save a life, save a family"put forward by China's digestive experts Li Zhaoshen , with rich clinical experience, detailed observation ability and a variety of observation means,will provide patients with high-quality early cancer screening and treatment services.
