The study, published in the journal Gut, between the prolonged use of drugs to treat acid reflux and cancer States there is a direct link.

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong and University College London found that by lowering the acidity in the stomach, the risk of developing the disease is doubled. If the drug is used for more than a year, the risk of developing stomach cancer increased five times, and after three or more years of admission to eightfold.

The study cannot be considered 100% proof, but scientists still advise doctors to “exercise caution when assigning long-term treatment of heartburn these drugs.”

In the near future it is planned to conduct a number of laboratory tests, to definitively confirm the already existing data.
