Stomach Cancer Screening

Endoscopic screening for early gastric cancer detection

Stomach cancer (gastric carcinoma) has a markedly better prognosis when detected at an early stage, yet symptoms are often absent or vague in the early stages. We offer endoscopic screening for high-risk individuals — those with H. pylori infection, family history or persistent gastrointestinal symptoms.

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy provides direct visualisation of the stomach lining, enabling detection of pre-cancerous changes, early cancers and H. pylori infection. The procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes under light sedation.

Key Benefits

  • Direct visualisation of stomach lining for accurate early detection
  • Biopsy of suspicious areas performed at the same appointment
  • H. pylori testing and treatment to eliminate a key risk factor
  • AI-assisted endoscopy technology for enhanced lesion detection

Is This Treatment Right For You?

  • Adults with persistent unexplained dyspepsia or stomach symptoms
  • Patients with confirmed H. pylori infection
  • Those with first-degree family history of stomach cancer
  • Individuals from higher-prevalence populations (East Asian, South American backgrounds)
