A member asked:
My aunt had ulcer and now doctors r saying it hs developed as a sign of cancer.what is the probability to cure it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on stage: I assume you are talking about a stomach ulcer. If it is cancer, the chances of curing it are related to the depth of the stomach cancer. You also have to know whether or not it has spread to the lymph nodes. Early stage stomach cancer with negative lymph nodes can be treated very effectively with excellent outcomes. Talk to your oncologist and/or surgeon for more details.
