Nonantral gastric carcinoid tumours associated with hypergastrinaemia
Acta Medica Scandinavica
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
Nonantral gastric carcinoid tumours in association with pronounced hypergastrinaemia are reported in 6 patients. It is suggested that the hypergastrinaemia, as a result of lack of a negative acid feedback inhibition in an achlorhydric stomach, promoted the tumour development, possibly initiated by action of carcinogenic nitrosamines, in the gastric juice.
