Autoimmune disease: Diseases such as pernicious anemia and autoimmune atrophic gastritis can increase the risk of stomach cancer.
When can gastritis turn into cancer?
Gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach lining, does not usually turn into cancer. However, some types of gastritis, such as autoimmune atrophic gastritis, can increase the risk of developing stomach cancer.
Cure: The chances of a cure for stomach cancer depend on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Early diagnosis is essential to increase the chances of a cure. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the individual case.
