The stomach disease gastritis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the stomach lining. In the case of chronic gastritis, the types A, B, C are used to describe the causes:
An ulcer is a benign gastric ulcer that extends very deep into the mucous membrane, at least into the Lamina muscularis mucosae. A dangerous complication of peptic ulcer disease occurs when the ulcer injures a larger vessel, causing life-threatening bleeding.
The typical place where a stomach ulcer occurs is the lesser curvature (Curvatura minor) of the antrum. The most common causes of an ulcer are pain medication such as aspirin, NSAIDs, the Helicobacter pylori bacterium, and other stressors.

In Germany, stomach cancer is the seventh most common malignant (malignant) Tumor. Seen around the world, it is actually the second most common tumor. This type of tumor often remains clinically silent into the later stages (asymptomatic) and thus has a very poor prognosis, as early treatment is often missed. The most important risk factors for gastric cancer are the colonization of the gastric mucosa with the bacterium Helicobakter pylori and nirtosamines found in food.
This gastric disease occurs most frequently in the area of the antrum, pylorus and lesser curvature, but it also occurs in 25% of cases at the stomach entrance (Cardia) in front.
