Can chronic gastroenteritis become cancer?

Chronic gastroenteritis usually does not become cancer if it is actively treated. If it is not actively treated, the disease may deteriorate into cancer.

Chronic gastritis refers to chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, usually related to dietary factors, intestinal flora imbalance, infection and other reasons. If active treatment can reduce gastrointestinal inflammation, it will not lead to abnormal changes in the gastrointestinal mucosa, and generally will not become cancer. However, if it is not actively treated, intestinal metaplasia may occur in the gastric mucosa. If the disease continues to develop, the risk of gastric cancer, intestinal cancer and other diseases will increase.
