with irregular Z lines do I need to worry about stomach cancer

with irregular Z lines do I need to worry about stomach cancer

I am waiting on biopsy report but the test results showed irregular z lines and striped moderately erythematous mucosa in the gastric antrum  was biospied as well. How concerned should I be?

Hi,
If biopsy from the Z line shows Barrett's esophagus then you are the increased risk of developing adenocarcinoma of esophagus.
The erythematous mucosa in the antrum could be just inflammation.
