Barium Meal X-Ray 

A series of x-rays of the stomach after the patient has swallowed a glassful of barium compound which, seen by x-rays, will outline the stomach. A growth can also be seen. This is a safe and simple procedure. 

Gastroscopy 

A flexible telescope is passed into the stomach to view the inner lining for any growth. Biopsy of the stomach wall can be made to confirm the diagnosis.

CT Scan of Abdomen 

This x-ray scan is performed to assess for any invasion of the lymph glands, neighbouring organs and the presence of cancer deposits in the liver.
