Summary

Gastroscopy is the most sensitive diagnostic tool for gastric cancer, accurately identifying abnormalities and malignancy. Upper gastrointestinal series offers limited additional value for preoperative planning.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Preoperative planning is crucial for effective gastric cancer surgery.
  • Accurate staging and localization of gastric tumors are essential for surgical decision-making.
  • Evaluating the utility of various diagnostic modalities in gastric cancer is important.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the role of gastroscopy in preoperative planning for gastric cancer surgery.
  • To compare the diagnostic accuracy of gastroscopy, upper gastrointestinal series, and computed tomography in gastric cancer.
  • To determine the sensitivity of endoscopic biopsy and brush cytology.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 100 consecutive gastric cancer patients.
  • Evaluation of findings from gastroscopy, upper gastrointestinal series, and computed tomography.

  • Analysis of sensitivity for lesion site, extent, mass/ulceration, and malignancy.

    • Main Results:

    • Gastroscopy demonstrated the highest sensitivity (100%) for detecting abnormalities and (88%) for malignancy.
    • Endoscopic biopsy and brush cytology were diagnostic in 90% and 70% of cases, respectively.
    • Gastroscopy and upper GI series had similar accuracy in determining tumor extent; CT was limited for local assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Gastroscopy is the most sensitive diagnostic test for gastric cancer.
    • Upper gastrointestinal series provides minimal additional preoperative information.
    • CT is valuable for metastasis assessment but limited for local tumor extent.
