[Early gastric cancer: radiologic, endoscopic or combined diagnosis?].
Having underlined the importance of an extremely early diagnosis of gastric cancer, the paper focuses on the diagnostic capacities of endoscopy and bone x-ray using a dual-contrast technique. From an analysis of published reports and on the basis of their own experience, the authors prefer, whenever possible, to combine the two methods, since this is the only way of revealing minimum neoplastic stomach lesions in almost 100% of cases.
