There is a possibility that gastroesophageal reflux disease does not develop into cancer. The treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease can be implemented by reducing reflux, increasing the stimulation of gastric secretions, and acid-reducing treatment, among others. While undergoing treatment, patients should pay attention to the following in daily life to achieve the best therapeutic effect: eating small meals frequently, basing the diet on low-fat foods, and avoiding smoking and alcohol.
