Timely treatment of gastritis and ulcers, especially if they are caused by Helicobacter pylori.

Regular preventive examinations in the presence of a family history.
Conclusion: the most important thing is not to waste time
Stomach cancer is not a death sentence if detected early. Do not ignore even mild and seemingly harmless symptoms. After the age of 40, gastroscopy every 2–3 years is a reasonable measure for early diagnosis and peace of mind.
