Question: I am 40 years old and have gastric ulcer and chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia. Is this serious?
Answer: Yes, it is serious and requires prompt treatment. The presence of intestinal metaplasia indicates that the condition has taken the first step toward cancer. If atypical hyperplasia is added, it takes the second step, known as precancerous lesion. Treatment must be expedited; do not take it lightly.
