Now, I already explained how long term use of proton pump inhibitors might cause gastric cancer.
This can happen through atrophy of gastric mucosa and autoimmune gastritis. But Helicobacter pylori can do this as well. And as a result of these changes, even ulcers might develop and treating Helicobacter pylori at this stage might not reduce your risk of developing gastric cancer. And last but not least, the fourth thing that can and should be done in this case is to recognize some early signs and symptoms of gastric cancer. Weight loss, bleeding, indigestion and so on.
