How long does it take for early-stage gastric cancer to develop into late-stage?

There is no specific time from early stage gastric cancer to late stage. It should be judged based on factors such as the malignancy of gastric cancer and whether it is treated in time. The specific situation is as follows:

If the malignancy of gastric cancer is low, such as papillary adenocarcinoma, tubular adenocarcinoma, etc., the patient can take surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other methods in time to delay the progression of the disease, which may take 4-5 years or even longer to progress to the late stage. If not treated in time, gastric cancer will progress from early stage to late stage in about 1-2 years. If the malignancy of gastric cancer is high, such as signet ring cell carcinoma, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, etc., the patient can progress to the late stage within 1-3 years after timely treatment. If not treated in time, the disease progresses rapidly and may enter the late stage in about half a year.

When patients are diagnosed with early gastric cancer, they should seek medical attention in time to delay the progression of the disease and prolong survival. During treatment, they should adjust their diet structure, focusing on light food and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. They should try to avoid eating greasy, spicy, and irritating foods, such as fatty meat, fried chicken, and chili peppers.
