What tumor examination items are there in Japanese physical examination?

The early cure rate of many cancers is above 90%, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer and liver cancer. If found early, there are actually many ways to prevent the tumor from getting worse.

At this time, the contradiction appeared. Most physical examinations in China are relatively rough, so many early cancers have been missed, and the best treatment period has been missed when they are found again. Therefore, many people who care about health place their hopes on Japan with high medical quality. So today, we will talk about which items in Japanese physical examination are focused on screening for cancer.

Screening for rectal cancer-fecal occult blood and colonoscopy. 20% patients with digestive tract cancer can be positive for occult blood test in the early stage, and the positive rate of occult blood in the late stage can reach more than 90%, and it can continue to be positive. Therefore, fecal occult blood test can be used as the first choice for screening digestive tract tumors.

Before the user has a physical examination in Japan, the Japanese hospital will express a set of physical examination sampling tools, including a special tool for taking stool samples. This tool is like a thick test tube with a brush in it. The user only needs to brush the stool sample with a tool and then put it into the test tube. Because there is bacterial culture solution in the test tube, users need to take it with them to the hospital after sampling.

Japanese medical gastroscope

In order to further judge whether users have the risk of intestinal cancer, a colonoscopy will be added to the advanced physical examination in Japan. Colonoscopy is actually the most cost-effective examination for screening major diseases of digestive tract, because colonoscopy is not done every year. If this colonoscopy does not find polyps or lesions and other problems that need attention, then generally speaking, it is not necessary to do another examination within three years.

Domestic colonoscopy requires users to fast and ban meals 8 hours before the examination, while in Japan, only ban meals can not help water, and will specifically check meals for users. In the process of bowel cleaning, users will take bowel cleaning drugs accompanied by Japanese hospital nurses, who will observe the progress of bowel cleaning and remind users to adjust the dosage.

Lung cancer screening-sputum cytology and CT lung cancer are the most common diseases in China, and sputum cytology is one of the most basic examinations for screening lung cancer. Similarly, the examination of sputum cells in Japanese physical examination is also very detailed. Sputum sampling tools in Japanese hospitals require users to take sputum on the day of physical examination, one day before physical examination and two days before physical examination to avoid misdiagnosis during testing.

However, at present, the most economical and effective method for screening cancer is low-dose spiral CT. The examination process is simple and quick, and the medical image after examination is very clear. Moreover, the radiation of this examination is smaller than that of conventional CT, and the burden on the human body is not great.

Gastric cancer examination-Helicobacter pylori, gastroscopy and colonoscopy are similar, and gastroscopy is also the most effective method to check digestive tract diseases. Other examinations are similar to barium meal or abdominal CT images, and the reference significance is not as good as gastroscopy. If there is a suspected lesion in the stomach during barium meal examination, a gastroscope should be done for a more detailed examination.

The gastroscope of medical examination in Japan is different from that in China, and most of them are nasal gastroscopes, which can minimize the discomfort of users. Of course, for some people who are not suitable for nasal gastroscopy, Japanese hospitals also have general anesthesia gastroscopy.

When doing gastroscopy in a Japanese hospital, the user sees the same picture as the doctor through the screen of the gastroscope. During the examination, the doctor will also explain the examination process to the user, such as where the examination site is, so as to distract the user's attention and reduce the user's discomfort.

After the examination, Japanese doctors will briefly explain the examination results to users with stick figures, and a more detailed report will be mailed to users together with the overall physical examination report.

If you want not to be afraid of cancer, you must first understand cancer and then master the correct cancer screening methods. The cure rate of early cancer is much higher than that of middle and late cancer, and scientific physical examination is the right choice to have a healthy body.
