Gastroscopy, the endoscopic examination of the interior of the
stomach, has finally come of age. Although beset with multiple
difficulties, and slow to develop, the method has achieved a sudden
flowering in the past 10 years found in few other types of
examination of the living human. The advances, the results of great
interest and perseverance by many workers in all parts of the
world, have been based on the happy combination of these efforts
and the rapidly changing manufacture of various instruments to
visualize, photograph, and biopsy all parts of the stomach at will.
So rapid have been these advances that it has been difficult even
for those intimately involved to keep abreast of the changes. The
general physician public is in consequence still in considerable
ignorance of what is now endoscopically available for the diag
nosis of gastric disease. Many interesting types of gastric
pathology have been and are still being better defined by
endoscopy, but its particular value lies in the diagnosis of
malignant neo plasia of the stomach. Whereas in the immediate past
it was necessary to restrict examination to roentgenograms, at best
an indirect means, it is now possible to visualize lesions,
photograph them in color, and biopsy all suspicious areas with
great accuracy. A visual and histologic diagnosis of cancer of the
stomach may be made in well-equipped institutions in an hour or
less.
