I thank Dr. Capurso and colleagues for their observations concerning the etiologic hypotheses I presented in my review of gastric pathophysiology, Helicobacter pylori, nitrite exposures, and pancreatic cancer. Studies in the literature provide a lot of suggestive evidence but are certainly not definitive for the hypotheses, and interpretations other than the ones I proposed are possible.
Capurso et al.
