Acid inhibitors don’t cause stomach cancer... but chronic gastritis could. You can visit a doctor to request an endoscopy (gastroscopy) to search for inflammation in the stomach (gastritis) , a peptic ulcer , and/or cancer. All these conditions exhibit similar symptoms. Therefore, a gastroscopy (with biopsy if necessary) is the correct protocol for making a diagnosis. DISCLAIMER: "Ask a Doctor" Questions are answered by Dr. Nikola Gjuzelov, General Practitioner.
