Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently had an endoscopy that found an gastric ulcer over 1.5 inches. It's called a giant ulcer. I've been reading online that with it being so large there is an increased risk of it being cancerous. Anyone know if this is true and what percentage the likelihood of cancer is?
