What is the purpose of gastroscopy pathological examination

The purpose of gastroscopy is to clarify the nature of the lesion, evaluate the degree of the lesion, monitor the disease progression and treatment effect, and provide important data for clinical research. 1. Clarify the nature of the lesion. Pathological analysis of the tissues obtained under gastroscopy can accurately determine whether the lesion is inflammation, ulcer, polyp, or tumor, which is very important for accurate diagnosis of the disease. For example, for some suspected tumor lesions, pathological examination can determine their benign and malignant, and provide key evidence for subsequent treatment plans.2. Assessing the severity of lesions can deeply understand the severity of lesions, such as inflammation grading, tumor invasion depth, etc. This helps doctors to fully grasp the disease and formulate more targeted and individualized treatment strategies. 3. Monitoring disease progression and treatment effect In the course of treatment, through regular gastroscopic pathological examination, it is possible to dynamically observe the changes of lesions, judge whether the treatment is effective, and whether there is recurrence or progression of the disease, so as to adjust the treatment plan in time. 4. Provide important data for clinical research A large number of gastroscopic pathological examination results can accumulate rich medical data, provide strong support for further research on the occurrence and development mechanism of diseases and explore new treatment methods, and promote the continuous progress of medical science. Gastroscopic pathology plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis, treatment and research of digestive system diseases.
