Abstract
Early diagnosis is paramount in the successful treatment of gastric cancer.1 We have found that empirical treatment with a proton-pump inhibitor can delay the diagnosis as occurred in the first patient described below, and we have also observed, by serendipity, the effect of a short course of a proton-pump inhibitor on the symptoms and endoscopic signs of early gastric cancer in another patient.Keywords
