How long is the early to late stage of malignant gastric ulcer

Malignant gastric ulcer generally refers to stomach cancer. Typically, the time it takes for stomach cancer to progress from early to advanced stage is uncertain and can take months or years.

1. Early stage: Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor originating from gastric mucosal epithelial cells, which is relatively common in clinical practice. If the patient is treated in time after early detection and actively cooperates with the doctor to treat the lesion by surgical removal, the disease will progress relatively slowly and may achieve a curative effect.

2. Medium-term: However, if the patient does not receive effective treatment, or often eats spicy and irritating food in daily life, resulting in further aggravation of the disease, the disease will develop faster, and it may take about half a year to develop to the middle and late stages.

3. Late stage: If the patient's physical fitness is relatively poor and there are no active measures for treatment, with the development of the disease, there may be distant metastasis, and even life-threatening health.

It is recommended that patients should maintain a good attitude after being diagnosed with stomach cancer and avoid being overly emotional and nervous. At the same time, we should also pay attention to a light diet, you can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and high-protein foods, such as apples, tomatoes, eggs, etc., which is conducive to supplementing the nutrients needed by the body. In addition, patients also need to go to the hospital for regular check-ups to keep an eye on the recovery of the disease.
