The cardia showed 3.3, with inflammatory lesions, and it was recommended to follow up later.Hello doctor, is this cancer? Do I need surgery?
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of your condition. If it is an inflammatory lesion, follow-up visits at irregular intervals are necessary. For your condition, it is recommended that you follow your doctor's advice and have follow-up visits at irregular intervals. Currently, it is a benign inflammation and not cancerous.In addition, during the treatment of gastritis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important.
