Ulcers of the Stomach

Abstract

“The traditional ulcer diet may be on its way out.” So began another panel discussion on ulcer moderated by Dr. Zollinger two years ago in this Journal (June 1969, page 160). The statement is even truer today, and there are other shifts in emphasis. The diagnosis of gastric ulcer is more sophisticated, the use of the various medications is more discriminating, and malignancy is less likely to escape detection.
