Overview
Medical Therapy
Proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole and lansoprazole) and histamine H2-receptor antagonists (such as famotidine and ranitidine) are used to slow down acid secretion. If possible the tumours should be surgically removed, or treated with chemotherapy.
Octreotide can be used to slow down acid secretion.
