What Gastroscopy (Upper GI Endoscopy) can reveal & when to get it
A thin camera is inserted through the mouth or nose to directly examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It can detect small lesions that are difficult to identify with a barium X-ray, and tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken on the spot if needed.
Main conditions it can detect and evaluate
- Stomach cancer
- Esophageal cancer
- Gastric and duodenal ulcers
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Gastric polyps
- Gastritis caused by H. pylori infection
When to consider this test
Japan's national gastric cancer screening program recommends endoscopy once every 2 years for adults aged 50 and older. Those with a history of H. pylori infection or gastric symptoms are advised to consult a physician about earlier screening.
Screening interval: Once every 2 years for adults aged 50 and older (organized screening guideline). Consult your physician based on individual risk factors.
Benefits
