Cases that Will Develop into Gastric Cancer
If a patient's multiple gastric ulcers are not effectively controlled for a long time and there is a tendency for malignancy, it may lead to the development of gastric cancer. As gastric ulcer is an ulcerative disease that occurs in the inner wall mucosa of the stomach or deeper parts, if no effective treatment and intervention are provided, the lesion will gradually expand and even undergo malignant transformation. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with multiple gastric ulcers must actively cooperate with doctors for standardized treatment to prevent further aggravation of the disease and other complications. At the same time, attention should be paid to a healthy diet in daily life, focusing on light and digestible foods, such as millet porridge and pumpkin porridge, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and facilitate recovery.
