What are the X-ray signs of a malignant gastric ulcer

X-ray examination is a relatively common imaging examination method in clinical practice, and is often used to diagnose a variety of diseases in clinical practice. For patients with malignant gastric ulcers, signs such as niches and filling defects may appear during x-ray examination.

First, the early stage

1. Niche: that is, a round or oval ulcer lesion with a neat edge and concentrated surrounding mucosal folds;

2. Filling defect: caused by the necrosis of tumor tissue to form a cavity, it is generally located at the bottom of the ulcer, and the stomach wall in this part will be thinner than the surrounding normal stomach wall.

Second, the advanced stage

When the cancer invades the serous layer, it may cause local invasive growth, which may cause ascites, abdominal mass and other conditions. X-rays may show decreased or absent bowel movements and localized abdominal muscle tension.

3. Advanced stage

If the malignant gastric ulcer develops to an advanced stage, there will be distant metastases, such as liver metastases, bone metastases, lung metastases, etc., and abnormal shadows can be found in the liver, bones, and lungs through X-ray examination.

It is recommended that such people go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital in time, improve blood routine, gastrointestinal endoscopy and other related examinations to determine the severity of the disease, and actively cooperate with the doctor to avoid delaying the condition. In daily life, you should also pay attention to a healthy diet and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, garlic, etc.
