From Inflammation to Cancer: 3 Conditions That Need Immediate Treatment

Speaking of inflammation, I think everyone knows about it and has a certain impression. Clinically, inflammation is an entirely normal physiological reaction in which the body defends itself. If the body is infected with viruses, bacteria, allergens, etc., the body will initiate a respective immune reaction. Response measures for patients will also vary depending on the kinds of inflammation but, there is no doubt that they must be dealt with without delay and actively, because in clinical practice, there are so many types of inflammation. As it slowly changes, it is ultimately converted into cancer.

So, what is the time duration from inflammation to cancer? I suppose a lot of people will be wondering about that.

At the moment, both clinical medicine and science have not come up with a conclusion or provided a number that is somewhat definite. From a clinical point of view, not everyone with inflammation will end up in cancer; however, there is still a possibility of some inflammations turning into cancer.

Moreover, chronic inflammation with the potential for cancer development has also been identified by the clinicians as “precancerous lesion”. For higher-level pre-cancerous lesion patients, canceration may be accelerated to as little as two to three months, if no timely treatment and intervention are developed.

Usually, the transition of inflammation into cancer is done within four or five years, but the time of the occurrence of cancer is a little changed by the individual’s specific conditions, that is, by factors that affect individual differences. Besides, the doctor has also given a clear warning that if the following 3 kinds of inflammation exist, then the respective treatment should be done immediately without delay.

1. Enteritis

Inspection of clinical cases has shown that enteritis patients are likely to have a range of manifestations in their daily lives including constipation, fecal and urine abnormalities. And “enteritis is not the only cause, for instance, unhealthy eating habits, irregular diet, and eating undercooked food, etc., which not only will promote the production of bacteria but also may become the source of pathogens in the body”.

So in order to bring down the frequency of enteritis to the minimum possible level, we must have good eating habits in life. Even if you have already suffered from gastroenteritis, you should intervene and treat it in time to stop the inflammation from spreading in the body, thus increasing the occurrence of bowel cancer.

2. Viral hepatitis

If as a result of a routine check-up viral hepatitis is diagnosed, it must be taken very seriously and, in life, the doctor’s orders have to be strictly followed and the medicine has to be taken scientifically and according to the standard. Moreover, we should also adopt healthy living habits and take various measures to protect our liver. If you suffer from viral hepatitis and do not take any treatment for a long time, the disease will deepen, abnormal metabolism and necrosis of liver cells will happen, thus the risk of liver cancer will increase.

3. Gastritis

Not only that, but gastritis is also one of the most common inflammatory diseases and the very long time between gastritis and gastric cancer is what gives the patient the option to intervene and control himself. Most of the persons suffering from gastritis are the patients of the gastritis and the irritation may also accompany them with the symptoms of vomiting and acid reflux during their everyday routine. If without the performance of intervention treatment in time, the inflammation may slowly turn into chronic atrophic gastritis. In this instance, there is also the possibility of the occurrence of precancerous lesions.
