Gastrointestinal endoscopy for early stomach cancer screening

Long-term infection with H.P bacteria causes chronic inflammation in the stomach lining. Chronic inflammation can progress to more severe digestive diseases, even leading to stomach cancer. Therefore, gastroscopy is often prescribed to detect digestive diseases early, which is a prerequisite to prevent the development of stomach cancer.

The endoscopy method will use a flexible tube with a camera inserted through the mouth or nose (upper endoscopy) or from the anus (lower endoscopy) into the digestive tract to visually examine and observe the patient’s condition.

Doctor Phan Van Hanh – Bao Son General Hospital is performing a gastric endoscopy on a patient using Japanese NBI technology.

At Bao Son Hospital, in order to help accurately diagnose the patient’s digestive condition, doctors have applied NBI digestive endoscopy technology transferred from Japan. This technology uses a narrow band of light, magnifying 100 times, helping to observe deeply and sharply the mucosal layer. Through the endoscopy results, doctors will diagnose stomach lesions caused by H.P. bacteria. From there, there will be appropriate and effective treatment methods.

To bring patients the best experience, overcoming the “fear of endoscopy”, Bao Son Hospital has built a super clean, completely sterile endoscopy process, helping the process to be safe and smooth for patients. Painless anesthesia endoscopy using Japanese NBI technology is quick and gentle thanks to the super soft, super small endoscope. After 15 minutes, the endoscopy results are available.

Digestive endoscopy at Bao Son Hospital Endoscopy Center is performed by a team of leading expert doctors such as Doctor CKII – Associate Professor Phan Van Hanh (former head of the Endoscopy Department of the Central Cancer Hospital) with 40 years of experience.
