A member asked:
I have an endoscopy for barretts every 2/3 years. can this also detect stomach cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the endoscopy extends to examination of the stomach it would be useful for detecting stomach cancer. Talk to your doctor to ensure that the examination extends to the stomach and is not limited to the esophagus. Wish you good health!
