Complex diagnostics of gastric cancer in Salutte Clinic
About the clinic
Complex diagnostics of gastric cancer are available at Salutte Clinic, located in Santo Domingo and Santiago, Dominican Republic. This diagnostic process focuses on identifying gastric mucosa lesions, ulcers, and reflux through specialized imaging and laboratory testing. Specialists in gastroenterology and endoscopy perform these examinations to identify signs of malignancy or precancerous conditions.
The clinic uses several modalities to examine the digestive tract. An upper endoscopy, or gastroscopy, involves a thin, flexible camera to view the stomach lining directly. Patients may also choose capsule endoscopy or transnasal endoscopy for a detailed internal assessment. These methods allow doctors to visualize the gastric mucosa and detect abnormalities that require further investigation.

- Upper endoscopy. Uses a thin flexible camera to check for gastritis, ulcers, and lesions.
- Gastroscopy with biopsy. Collects tissue samples during the exam for pathological analysis.
- Helicobacter pylori testing. Performed during the procedure to identify bacterial infections.

- Transnasal endoscopy. Offers an additional option for mucosal examination.
