Carcinoma of the stomach, although its incidence is decreasing in the United States, is still a fatal disease. The results today are actually no better than they were 30 years ago because we are still making late diagnoses. In order to improve our results in the treatment of cancer of the stomach, we must perform fiberoptic gastroscopy in individuals over age 40 who have gastric complaints that do not respond readily to conservative medical therapy. At the time of endoscopy, multiple biopsies of gastric mucosa must be taken. Only in this way can early enough diagnoses be made to increase the survival rate in gastric carcinoma.
胃癌，尽管其在美国的发病率正在下降，但仍然是一种致命疾病。如今的治疗结果实际上并不比30年前好，因为我们仍在进行晚期诊断。为了改善胃癌的治疗效果，我们必须对40岁以上有胃部不适且对保守药物治疗反应不佳的个体进行纤维光学胃镜检查。在内镜检查时，必须对胃黏膜进行多次活检。只有这样才能做出足够早期的诊断，以提高胃癌患者的生存率。
