What are the chances of mild gastritis turning into stomach cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably low: Need more information as to the cause of the gastritis, if h. Pylori is present & what treatments have been used. Mild gastritis could be a very basic finding on many gastric biopsies performed.

Gastritis and Cancer: If the gastritis is due to h. Pylori, and is usually is, an untreated chronic infection increases your cancer of stomach lymphoma, a form of stomach cancer. That is why it is good to treat and eradicate the bacterium once and for all with combination antibiotics that your gastroenterologist can prescribe.
