Stomach cancer as a result of gastritis type C

Extensive inflammation of the stomach can attack, damage and change the cells of the mucous membrane. Such changes in tissue increase the chance of developing stomach cancer in the course of life. In particular, the risk is noticeably increased for autoimmune gastritis type A and pathogen-induced gastritis type B. Gastritis type C is generally easy to treat and has only a low risk of recurrence.

If good living habits are maintained and after successful therapy, the risk of stomach cancer is increased only to a very small extent. In the context of stomach cancer prevention, it is also important to remember that giving up risk factors such as high-fat food, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and heavy stress not only protects against gastritis, but can also reduce the risk of stomach cancer.
