Diagnostics

An important feature of early diagnosis of oncological diseases is the ability to increase the chance of complete recovery or positive dynamics severalfold. Modern methods of cancer diagnostics using various examinations allow to identify signs of oncopathology at an early stage and increase the likelihood of a successful cure up to 90% and even more.

To detect cancer the Center conducts various types of diagnostics:

Ultrasound diagnostics (ultrasound) helps to diagnose tumors of mammary and thyroid glands, gynecological and urological pathology, tumors of abdominal organs.

Radiation diagnostics

Radiation diagnostics is one of the gold standards for the diagnosis of malignant tumors. Among X-ray studies that help to make a diagnosis, we use contrast X-ray of bone structures, abdominal and thoracic organs, urinary system and mammary gland. Also in the clinic there is a CT scanner, which helps to clarify the diagnosis and find out the localization of metastases.

Endoscopic diagnostics

During endoscopic diagnostics, oncological surgeons can not only see the tumor, but also perform a biopsy or remove the tumor. Our doctors perform FEGDS, bronchoscopy, colonoscopy, hysteroscopy, cystoscopy and endoscopic abdominal operations.

The center has all modern facilities for conducting diagnostic examinations with the aim to:

• detect malignant tumors at an early stage,
• determine the spread stage of malignant tumors,
• evaluate the treatment efficiency. 

The Endoscopy Department is equipped with the most advanced Pentax endoscopic equipment, allowing to detect precancerous and oncological diseases at an early stages. A calm atmosphere, polite staff, high professionalism of doctors and nurses of the department will maximally ease the inconvenience and discomfort associated with endoscopic manipulations. We strive to make endoscopic examination of a high quality, painless and as comfortable as possible!

Aleksey Gennadievich Zeleny and Anna Viktorovna Meshcheryakova, who have an extensive experience with cancer patients both in planned and emergency endoscopy receive patients.

A wide range of both diagnostic endoscopic procedures and minimally invasive endoscopic operations is available in our center: 

• Video-esophagogastroduodenoscopy

• Video-colonoscopy

• Video-bronchoscopy

• Video-nasolaryngoscopy

• Excisional biopsy

• Chromoscopy with the functions of vital staining of the mucous coat

• Determination of Helicobacter pylori by express method, by microscopy of gastric biopsy material

• Endoscopic polypectomy

• Endoscopic resection of the gastrointestinal tract, trachea, bronchi neoplasms

• Endoscopic balloon dilatation of cicatricial strictures, cardia with achalasia

• Endoscopic bougienage of various etiology stenosis 

• Endoscopic insertion of a nasogastric tube

• Endoscopic installation of a percutaneous gastrostoma

• Endoscopic stenting of hollow organs

Endoscopy and anesthesia

It is common knowledge that endoscopic procedures are not the most pleasant ones. Our patients have the opportunity to undergo endoscopic examinations as comfortably as possible - "asleep", under intravenous sedation! Endoscopy with anesthesia allows to not only avoid the stress for the patient, but also significantly improves the quality of the examination itself! Patients can leave the center 30 minutes after anesthesia recovery. The only limitation is that driving is prohibited on the day of the examination.

Epidemiological safety

All endoscopes and instruments used with them are cleansed exclusively in an automatic washing machine before each procedure in compliance with all requirements to achieve a high level of disinfection, which eliminates the transfer of infection from patient to patient. To date, this method of endoscopic equipment cleansing is the most reliable.
