A member asked:
Can a hiatle hernia cause enough low level chronic undetectable inflammation to imitate stomach cancer?

Doubtful: Cancer cells are generally readily distinguished from inflammatory cells by a pathologist looking at a biopsy spwcimen. The inflammation could be from a hiatal, but it would be unusual to mistake it for cancer. Hope this helps!
