Question 5

how long does it take for ulcers, acid reflux helicobacter pylori to convert to stomach cancer?

Accepted Answer

: H. pylori commonly causes gastritis, less commonly ulcers, and only rarely gastric cancer, but it never causes acid reflux. The majority of people with H. pylori are asymptomatic and never develop ulcers or cancer, and of those who do, it can take decades to develop. Many with H. pylori, especially in less-developed countries, are infected in childhood. If you have it, get treated. Good luck.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No mild gastric canc: There is not such thing as "mild gastric cancer", that name does not mean anything. The classification of cancer is done with the system tnm, this system is done when the patient has an operation for the cancer and the pathologist will obtain the information for the classification and postoperative treatment. T is for tumor; n is for regional lymph node and m for distant metastasis.

Other test would be done if cancer was found.

Question 9

what is life expectancy for someone in stage 3 stomach cancer that refuses to take therapy

Accepted Answer

GOK=God  Only Knows: Patient has the right to accept or refuse any therapy. I am just hoping that you are fully informed about the disease, prognosis, treatment options, pros and cons of treatment etc -before you make your decision. Only god knows how long one is going to live. Having said that, when the cancer is not treated-it makes it almost like a stage IV disease- the 5 year survival for stage IV is 7%.

Question 10

what can i do if my mother died of stomach cancer, so what are the steps i should take to protect myself from cancer?

Accepted Answer

Common sense: A lot depends on your individual situation. If your mother was young or there are other cancers in the family, you may have an inherited cancer syndrome that requires medical evaluation. In general, the best way to avoid cancer is to stop smoking, exercise, lose weight, and eat healthy.

Some say cancer is a disease of aging, so it may be impossible to completely avoid cancer as we age.
