Chronic gastritis with hyperplasia is not necessarily gastric cancer, but it may be a precursor or related lesion of gastric cancer. Specifically: chronic gastritis with hyperplasia usually refers to the finding during gastric examination that the gastric mucosa exhibits chronic inflammation accompanied by glandular hyperplasia. Although chronic gastritis with hyperplasia does not directly equate to gastric cancer, it is considered a potential risk factor for gastric cancer. Particularly when the hyperplasia is accompanied by atypical changes, it may indicate precancerous lesions or early-stage gastric cancer. After diagnosis of chronic gastritis with hyperplasia, patients should undergo further evaluation and treatment by specialized physicians to prevent disease progression. Chronic gastritis with hyperplasia warrants sufficient attention, and patients should actively cooperate with medical treatment and follow-up to control the condition and reduce the risk of gastric cancer.
