Abstract:
6500 patients were performed gastroscopy at Hospital No 198 from 1997 to 2002. The results showed that 19 patients (0.29%) experienced gastric cancer. Common clinical symptoms are belch, difficulty of swallow, choking, pain under breastbone. 42.1% of patients had gastric cancer on middle third, 36.8% on lower third, and 21% on upper third. Funggosity is most common. Carcinoma accounts for 68.4%. Only 3/19 cases could be operated. So it's important to screen for endoscopy in order to find early gastric cancer
