A member asked:
Is foveolar hyperplasia a segway for stomach cancer? can it be reversed? can a hiatle hernia that causes lower rib cage discomfort cause it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it is not.: Foveolar hyperplasia is merely a reactive phenomenon. There is no direct link to carcinoma, but it can be associated with it. What is more important is the cause behind the hyperplasia.
