The acid-quelling capablities of cimetidine have nothing to do with
its anti-tumor effect. The latter is presumably due to some immunomodulation
effect of the drug. BTW, initial promising results have not been
consistently repeatable. There is some thought that cimetidine works better
on malignant melanomas than on the benighn variety which afflicts greys.
