Gastric cancer is currently an important clinical and social problem. TRIMprob is a portable system for the non-invasive diagnosis of gastric cancer, designed to differentiate between normal and pathological tissues on the basis of their electromagnetic characteristics. The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of use of the TRIMprob system in diagnosing gastric neoplasms. From January to September 2006 we screened 28 symptomatic patients with TRIMprob; afterwards they underwent an endoscopic and bioptic examination. On the basis of the histological diagnosis these patients were divided into 2 groups: group A (patients with a diagnosis of gastric malignancies) and group B (patients with inflammatory disease). There also was a group C, which was a control group of 15 asymptomatic volunteers. The TRIMprob system located all cases of gastric cancer (group A) with 100% sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. The TRIMprob examination seems to be extremely accurate in diagnosing gastric malignancies. If these results are confirmed, TRIMprob could be used for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer and for selecting symptomatic subjects for gastroscopy.
胃癌目前是一个重要的临床和社会问题。TRIMprob是一种用于胃癌无创诊断的便携式系统，旨在根据正常组织和病变组织的电磁特性进行区分。我们研究的目的是评估TRIMprob系统在诊断胃肿瘤方面的准确性和可行性。2006年1月至9月，我们用TRIMprob对28例有症状的患者进行了筛查；随后他们接受了内镜和活检检查。根据组织学诊断，这些患者被分为两组：A组（诊断为胃恶性肿瘤的患者）和B组（患有炎症性疾病的患者）。还有一个C组，是由15名无症状志愿者组成的对照组。TRIMprob系统对所有胃癌病例（A组）的敏感性、特异性和准确性均为100%。TRIMprob检查在诊断胃恶性肿瘤方面似乎极其准确。如果这些结果得到证实，TRIMprob可用于胃癌的早期诊断，并为胃镜检查选择有症状的受试者。
