Chronic gastritis is a condition where the stomach lining is repeatedly irritated and damaged, often associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. Prolonged inflammation can lead to abnormal cell proliferation in the stomach lining, increasing the risk of stomach cancer.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the colon and rectum. Long-term inflammation in the intestines can cause severe damage and may lead to colon cancer. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment of ulcerative colitis are crucial.
Chronic hepatitis, particularly hepatitis B or C, is a major risk factor for liver cancer. Continuous liver cell damage and regeneration can result in genetic mutations, increasing the risk of liver cancer.
Chronic cervicitis is a condition where the cervix is persistently infected or irritated, potentially linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Prolonged inflammation in the cervix can promote abnormal cell proliferation, increasing the risk of cervical cancer.
