Diagnostic options for gastric metaplasia
Accurate diagnosis is the first step in managing pre-cancerous changes in the digestive tract. The clinic uses advanced imaging and laboratory analysis to monitor tissue changes. Patients receive a multidisciplinary management plan based on their specific results.
- Histopathology revision. This involves a expert review of biopsy samples taken during a gastroscopy. It helps confirm the presence of metaplasia and costs around $500–$800.
- Gastroscopy with biopsy. A doctor uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to examine the stomach lining and collect tissue samples.
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This method combines endoscopy with internal ultrasound. It provides detailed images of the GI tract to detect small tumors or submucosal processes.
- PET-CT scan. This advanced imaging tool helps identify metabolic activity in tissues. It typically costs around $1,200–$2,200.
Treatment methods and specialized care
The gastroenterology department is led by Dr. Akiva Hirsch, who has over 30 years of experience. Dr. Hirsch is known for his 98.7% diagnostic accuracy and focuses on minimally invasive techniques. Treatment for gastric metaplasia, such as Barrett’s esophagus, focuses on preventing the progression to cancer.
- Endoscopic ablation. Doctors use a novel ablation device to treat pre-cancerous tissue. This procedure can be performed during a standard gastroscopy.
- Biopsy and treatment. The clinic can perform a biopsy and ablation in a single procedure. This shortens the treatment timeline and improves patient comfort.
- Nano-knife technique. Dr. Akiva Hirsch uses this specialized tool to treat tumors without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
Patient experience and recovery
Most endoscopic procedures for gastric metaplasia are performed on an outpatient basis. Patients usually spend about one hour in recovery following sedation. Because of the sedation, patients must avoid driving immediately after the procedure. Assuta Medical Center was the first Israeli hospital to receive JCI accreditation, ensuring high standards for safety and care. The hospital uses a multidisciplinary approach, meaning several specialists collaborate on a single patient's case. You can request a consultation for gastric metaplasia through the Bookimed platform.
