Chronic non-atrophic gastritis with enterocolitis leading to atypical hyperplasia may have a certain chance of becoming cancerous, with a chance of about 1% to 2%.
Chronic non-atrophic gastritis means that the gastric mucosa does not have atrophic changes, there is no red-white, predominantly white microscopic manifestations, but only erosion or inflammatory edema changes.
Chronic non-atrophic gastritis is generally not clinically malignant, but if it is accompanied by intestinal epithelialization, it needs to be reviewed regularly.
If intestinal epithelial hyperplasia mutates and atypical hyperplasia occurs, it suggests that precancerous changes may occur.
Severe heterogeneous hyperplasia is sometimes difficult to distinguish from carcinoma in situ and is called high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, at which point it is susceptible to developing into a malignant tumor or further progression of the disease.
In the presence of intestinal epithelial hyperplasia, it is necessary to consult the gastroenterology department of a regular hospital, follow the prescribed treatment, and have regular checkups.
