Physical Exam : The doctor checks your abdomen for
fluid, swelling, or other changes. The doctor also feels for swollen
lymph nodes. Your skin and eyes are checked to see if they seem
yellow.
Upper GI series : The doctor orders x-rays of your esophagus and
stomach. The x-rays are taken after you drink a barium solution.
The solution makes your stomach show up more clearly on the xrays.
Endoscopy: : The doctor uses a thin, lighted tube (endoscope) to
look into your stomach. The doctor first numbs your throat with an
anesthetic spray. You also may receive medicine to help you relax.
The tube is passed through your mouth and esophagus to the
stomach.
Biopsy: : The doctor uses an endoscope to remove tissue from the
stomach. A pathologist checks the tissue under a microscope for
cancer cells. A biopsy is the only sure way to know if cancer cells
are present.
