Acid antisecretory agents are used for the prophylaxis of cancer chemotherapy (CT)-induced gastrointestinal (GI) mucositis. Although these drugs seem to be clinically beneficial, data on their effects on the GI mucosal defense during CT treatment are scant. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of omeprazole, lansoprazole, and lafutidine on mucin, a major mucus component, during 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment, as a CT regimen.
