Does my gastric biopsy report indicate cancer?
Patient: Please answer the following question Histopathology report 1-Stomach antral(gastric lesion) biopsies An area showing features of reactive gastropathy noted ( see comment) Thase gastric biopsies show areas with prominent foveolar hyperplasia In view of the above statement do I have cancer Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should not worry at all  for gastric malignancy. Your report suggest hyperplasia.  Which is not suggestive of cancer.Dysplasia is disorganized growth of cells and it is suggestive of malignancy. Hyperplasia is not indicator of cancer. So no need to worry much. You are not having cancer.
