A member asked:
I had an endoscopy on friday, and was diagnosed with gastritis with bleeding. my dr took a biopsy to find the cause. can cancer cells cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Bleeding per se in stomach not result of superficial gastritis unless superficial ulceration noted or a distinct ulcerating lesion which may have resulted from h.pylori. If such a lesion hasn't resolved on blockers to minimize acid production, then bx indicated because many such lesions do convert to malignancy.
