Does nonatrophic gastritis with moderate intestinal metaplasia belong to precancerous lesions

Non-atrophic gastritis, also known as superficial gastritis, is characterized by inflammation of the mucosal layer, which may be accompanied by mild or moderate intestinal metaplasia. Intestinal metaplasia is chronic damage to the gastric mucosa caused by stimulation factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection, bad living habits, bile reflux, etc., and epithelial metabolism is abnormal, so that gastric mucosa epithelium is replaced by intestinal mucosa epithelium. Non-atrophic gastritis with moderate intestinal metaplasia is a pathological diagnosis, and the risk of carcinogenesis is relatively low. The cause of inflammation should be clear, symptomatic treatment, most patients can be reversed.
