Cancer

People with ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori have 3 to 6 times the chance of developing stomach cancer later in life. There is no increased risk of developing cancer from ulcers that have other causes.

I have no idea but if you want to play doctor just let me know.

Most of gastrointestinal ulcers could be cured
Peptic ulcers that occurred on the main stomach and duodenal ulcers of the chronic, due to the formation of ulcers and gastric acid and pepsin digestion Therefore, the name of the role, accounting for about 99 percent of the digestive ulcers.
Peptic ulcer is a common benign disease, a world-wide distribution. Have information to statistics, duodenal ulcer occurs in young adults, late age at onset of gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer than an average night about 10 years, the incidence of duodenal ulcer is about three times the gastric ulcer.

A person requires an antibiotic for H.Plylori.

Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your stomach, upper small intestine or esophagus...


gastric ulcer is simply stating the location of that ulcer...

gastric ulcer -- ulcer in the stomach lining

duodenum ulcer -- ulcer in the duodenum area of small intestine

and so on and so on

Gastric adenocarcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumor.
It comes from a glandular epithelium of the gastric mucosa.

It invades the gastric wall, infiltrating the muscularis mucosae, the submucosa and then the muscularis propria.

Historically, there are two major types of gastric cancer: intestinal type and diffuse type.

Not sure where you got the idea that a peptic ulcer causes cancer. The bacteria in a peptic ulcer (helicobacter pylori) is the cause of the ulcer, but doesn't lead to cancer.

Hope that helps.

you playing doctors and nurses can I be the patient?

pylori is a major cause of gastritis, plays a key role in the etiology of peptic ulser and is a risk factor for gastric cancer.

You lost me, but there pylori? what the hell is that?

ok now I am more confused...

Is the answer that gastric ulcers can lead to stomach cancer?

Never heard of that happening... Although, technically, if left untreated... ANYTHING will eventually become cancerous in the human body.

yup.. would say TRUE...
without proper treatment!! and prevention
