Hello,

Your reports show fragments of gastric mucosa, you also have IBS and diverticulitis. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with fragments of gastric mucosa and diverticulitis does not directly indicate cancer. However, both IBS and diverticulitis can sometimes present with symptoms similar to those of gastrointestinal cancers.

Diverticulitis is associated with an increased risk of cancers. However, not all the cases of diverticulitis lead to cancer. Increased risk may be due to chronic inflammation or other underlying factors. Get clinically examined and assessed by a gastroenterologist, the treating doctor will treat you with medicines, diet control and physical therapy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
