How long will erosive gastritis become cancerous?

Erosive gastritis may take 3-10 years or longer to become cancerous.

Erosive gastritis is less likely to become cancerous directly. Without timely adjustment of eating habits and treatment, it may lead to further atrophy of gastric mucosa, leading to atrophic gastritis and peptic ulcer. At this time, the probability of cancer is higher. The progression of this disease may take 3-10 years, and some patients may need longer time or timely control of the disease without cancer.

For patients with atrophic gastritis, gastric mucosal protective agents and acid inhibitors such as sucralfate, aluminum magnesium carbonate, cimetidine, famotidine, etc. need to be used under medical advice.
