Generally speaking, the chances of chronic gastritis turning malignant are very low. However, if chronic gastritis involves atrophy, there is still a certain risk of malignancy. Therefore, patients with atrophic gastritis should undergo regular gastroscopy and pathological biopsy. At the same time, patients with chronic gastritis should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, consume mild foods, and avoid drinking strong tea, coffee, and spirits, as well as quit smoking. Foods that are overly acidic, overly spicy, overly salty, or overly hot should also be avoided as much as possible.
