When it comes to any kind of cancer, people will turn pale at the smell. Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of death in all malignant tumors, which can be said to be a very large proportion. If it is stage ⅳ gastric cancer, the tumor spreads and metastasizes, and the prognosis is poor. The 5-year survival rate is only 10%.
From gastritis to gastric cancer, it actually takes only four steps.
1, non-atrophic gastritis
Non-atrophic gastritis can be said to be the first step in the development of gastritis to gastric cancer. The symptoms of non-atrophic gastritis are not specific, and there will be common gastritis manifestations, such as stomach pain, stomach acid, belching, abdominal distension, acid reflux and so on. , can be mainly caused by helicobacter pylori infection. Clinically, it is mainly to kill Helicobacter pylori.
Chronic non-atrophic gastritis has a certain chance of canceration, mainly by dragging the disease away without treatment. After the diagnosis of gastroscope, you should listen to the doctor's advice in time, eat less spicy and irritating food in your diet, and give priority to a light diet to avoid overeating and prohibition of alcohol.
2. Atrophic gastritis
Atrophic gastritis is the further development of chronic non-atrophic gastritis. At this time, the gastric mucosa has shrunk, and the gastric mucosa has begun to become thinner, which may often be accompanied by intestinal metaplasia and inflammatory reaction. Generally speaking, a few atrophic gastritis can evolve into gastric cancer.
3. Intestinal metaplasia
Intestinal metaplasia is mainly divided into complete metaplasia and incomplete metaplasia. If chronic atrophic gastritis is accompanied by intestinal metaplasia, it is closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer.
At present, there are many people suffering from intestinal metaplasia, and they are getting younger and younger. In particular, some white-collar workers who are nervous at work and have great mental stress should pay more attention. If you have gastritis, you should treat it in time and check it regularly.
4. Developmental abnormality
Gastric mucosal dysplasia mainly occurs in the epithelial layer of gastric mucosa, which refers to its morphological and technical dysplasia.
There are two kinds: low level and high level. The canceration rate of high-grade dysplasia is about 60%-85%, which means it is easier to transform into gastric cancer.
How to prevent gastritis from further developing into gastric cancer
In fact, to prevent gastritis from developing into gastric cancer step by step, we should first pay attention to the diversification of diet, not picky eaters, and pay attention to the reasonable collocation of various nutrients. We should pay attention to avoid overeating, eat more animal liver and egg yolk, which is rich in vitamin A and has a certain effect on the repair of gastric mucosa.
In addition, we should pay attention to more exercise. At ordinary times, we should strengthen physical exercise, have a regular life schedule, avoid excessive fatigue, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. In addition, we should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, because emotions also have a positive effect on the relief of gastritis.
Of course, the inducing factors of gastric cancer are mainly related to atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia or helicobacter pylori infection, which is mostly caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation of the stomach.
If it is acute gastritis, there are obvious gastrointestinal symptoms, such as yellow watery stool, diarrhea, vomiting and so on. Patients can seek medical treatment by themselves. However, chronic gastritis is easily delayed and should be paid more attention to.
