According to the study, drugs in the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) group, such as Omeprazole, Pantoprazole and lansoprazole, increase the risk of stomach cancer by up to 2.4 times.

In this period, 3,271 people received PPIs for approximately three years, while 21,729 participants took H2 blockers. The results show that drugs called H2 antihistamines (such as ranitidine hydrochloride) almost did not increase the risk of stomach cancer, while PPIs more than 50% of patients had stomach cancer. which doubled the chances of the onset of the disease. People who used the drug on a daily basis had a 4-fold increased risk of developing stomach cancer compared to those who used the drug on a weekly basis.

The most plausible explanation for all the evidence on this is that those who receive PPIs and , especially those who remain long-term tend to be sicker in various ways than those for whom these drugs have not been prescribed, "the professor of pharmacoepidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Stephen Evans.
