Is intestinal type gastric cancer highly malignant?

The malignancy of intestinal type gastric cancer is relatively low, but it still requires active treatment and regular follow-up.

Intestinal gastric cancer is a type of gastric cancer that is often associated with factors such as eating habits, unhealthy lifestyles, and chronic gastric diseases. This type of cancer usually progresses slowly and has a relatively better prognosis than diffuse gastric cancer, and the treatment effect is relatively ideal when it is discovered early.

Early intestinal gastric cancer may not have obvious symptoms. Some patients may feel upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite or slight weight loss. As the disease worsens, symptoms such as gastric bleeding, vomiting blood or black stools may occur. If the stomach wall is deeply invaded, it may also cause stomach pain and even the risk of metastasis. Regular gastroscopy screening is very important for high-risk groups.

Changing the dietary structure, staying away from high-salt pickled foods, and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can play a positive role in reducing the risk of intestinal gastric cancer. If you already have underlying gastric diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers, you should follow up regularly to monitor changes in your condition. Once intestinal gastric cancer is diagnosed, a treatment plan should be developed as soon as possible under the guidance of a doctor and regular checkups should be conducted.
