Benign gastric ulcer canceration

Benign gastric ulcers usually do not become cancerous, but in some cases, gastric ulcers may be at risk of becoming malignant, such as long-term Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric polyps, family genetic factors, long-term use of certain drugs, etc. Benign gastric ulcers usually do not become cancerous, but in some cases, gastric ulcers may be at risk of becoming malignant. The following is a detailed analysis of whether benign gastric ulcer can become cancerous: 1. The characteristics and treatment of benign gastric ulcer Benign gastric ulcer refers to inflammation and damage of gastric mucosa, usually caused by gastric acid and pepsin. Symptoms include upper abdominal pain, indigestion, loss of appetite, etc. Treatment usually includes medication (e.g. antacids, gastric mucosal protectants) and lifestyle changes Chronic atrophic gastritis: Chronic atrophic gastritis is a degenerative disease of gastric mucosa, which is associated with the occurrence of gastric cancer. Gastric polyps: Gastric polyps, especially adenomatous polyps, may become malignant. Family genetic factors: certain gene mutations or familial diseases may increase the risk of gastric cancer. Long-term use of certain drugs: long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. aspirin) may increase the risk of gastric ulcer cancer.3. How to monitor and detect gastric ulcer cancerPeriodic gastroscopy: For patients with a history of gastric ulcers, doctors usually recommend regular gastroscopy to monitor ulcer healing and signs of cancer.Pathology: During gastroscopy, doctors will take some tissues for pathological examination to determine the nature of gastric ulcer and whether there is cancer.4. Methods to prevent gastric ulcer cancerEradication of Helicobacter pylori infection: If there is Helicobacter pylori infection, eradication treatment should be carried out in time. Treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis: Active treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis to reduce the risk of gastric cancer. Regular physical examination: 5. Conclusion Benign gastric ulcer usually doesn't cancerate by itself, but it may cancerate under the influence of some risk factors. For patients with a history of gastric ulcer, regular examinations and treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's advice to detect and manage signs of malignant change early. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular physical examinations are also important to prevent gastric ulcer cancer. It is important to note that individual conditions vary from person to person, and treatment and monitoring of gastric ulcer should be individualized according to specific circumstances. If there is any doubt about the cancer risk or treatment of gastric ulcer, consult your doctor for detailed consultation and guidance. In addition, high-risk groups (such as family history of gastric cancer, long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.) should pay special attention to the management and follow-up of gastric ulcer.
