Can long-term use of acid reflux drugs cause cancer?

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most prescribed drugs in the United States. Americans spend more than $10 billion a year on these drugs, which include omeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole and esomeprazole, designed to treat acid reflux and helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections.
