Does chronic gastritis deteriorate into cancer?

Chronic gastritis may deteriorate into cancer.

Chronic gastritis is an inflammatory disease caused by long-term stimulation of local gastric mucosa by adverse factors, and its clinical symptoms are not obvious. If the patient has intestinal metaplasia, it may mutate in the process of damage and repair after the disease worsens.

Patients should maintain healthy eating habits in daily life, and receive timely clinical treatment to alleviate gastric inflammation. If necessary, surgery can be selected to remove the diseased tissue. Generally, the prognosis is good.
