Interest in gastric carcinoid tumors has amplified considerably given the biological establishment of their relationship to gastrin and advances in the elucidation of the pathobiology of such lesions. The recognized propensity of acid-suppressing agents such as the proton pump inhibitor class of drugs to increase plasma gastrin levels has been proposed as a causal relationship in the apparent increase in the identification of such lesions although the increased prevalence of endoscopy and the enhanced awareness of pathologists have also been considered as contributory factors. We sought to examine if there has been an increase in gastric carcinoid incidence time correlative with these parameters.
