Focal intestinal epithelial hyperplasia is indeed problematic and has the risk of becoming cancerous, but there is no need to be overly worried, just do a good job of having regular follow-up gastroscopies, follow your doctor’s instructions, and improve your poor lifestyle.
Focal intestinal epithelial hyperplasia is a condition in which intestinal epithelium replaces the normal gastric mucosa and develops into atypical hyperplasia, which is known as a precancerous lesion, and therefore, the risk of gastric cancer is greatly increased.
Although focal intestinal epithelialization has the risk of cancer, there is no need to be overly fearful. If the pathology suggests intestinal epithelialization after gastric polypectomy, then there is no big problem after gastric polypectomy, and it is enough to pay attention to reviewing gastroscopy every 3 months to half a year in the early stage, and then reviewing gastroscopy every 1 year in the later stage.
