    Long-term use of PPIs is associated with the development of benign polyps from fundic glands (which is distinct from fundic gland polyposis); these polyps do not cause cancer and resolve when PPIs are discontinued. [33] There is concern that use of PPIs may mask gastric cancers or other serious gastric problems. [33]

    There is a risk of development of cancer with fundic gland polyposis, [22] but it varies based on the underlying cause of the polyposis. [4] The risk is highest with congenital polyposis syndromes, and is lowest in acquired causes. [4] [23] As a result, it is recommended that patients with multiple fundic polyps have a colonoscopy to evaluate ...

    A derivative of timoprazole, omeprazole, was discovered in 1979, and was the first of a new class of drug that control acid secretion in the stomach, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). [11] [12] Addition of 5-methoxy-substitution to the benzimidazole moiety of omeprazole was also made and gave the compound much more stability at neutral pH. [6]

    Long-term use of PPIs is strongly associated with the development of benign polyps from fundic glands (which is distinct from fundic gland polyposis); these polyps do not cause cancer and resolve when PPIs are discontinued. No association is seen between PPI use and cancer, but use of PPIs may mask gastric cancers or other serious gastric ...
