How likely is it for stomach leadings to stomach cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have: An ulcer in stomach, a certain small number of them can become cancers. If it is just gastritis or inflammation, and not an ulcer, chances of cancer is really low. If you are positive for h. Pylori infection, you should get treated. Ask your doctor about this.
