Hello!
For diseases that are inflammation of the stomach lining, gastroesophageal reflux disease - esophagitis could theoretically be related to stomach cancer.
However, you do not have to worry too much, you can take medicine to treat gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease - oesophagitis, kill HP bacteria if any. If the inflammation is stable, you can have an esophagogastroduodenal endoscopy about every 5 years to screen for early detection of cancer.
You can visit the hospitals of Vinmec Health System to be consulted more thoroughly by experienced and qualified doctors. Wish you well soon!
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
