Gastric cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer worldwide and the second most lethal. Gastric cancer biomarkers can be used for diagnosis, prediction of sensitivity to treatment, and prognosis. Some biomarkers can serve as therapeutic targets for antitumoral drugs.
Lay abstract Gastric cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer worldwide and the second most lethal. Gastric cancer biomarkers are molecules that have different expressions in tumor cells than in normal body cells, and can be used for diagnosis, prediction of sensitivity to treatment, and prognosis. Biomarkers in gastric cancer can include genes that suppress tumor progression, genes that increase tumor progression by binding to growth molecules, molecules related to the body's immune response to the tumor, and non-coding RNA molecules (RNA molecules that do not produce proteins but regulate the cell's genetic material). Some biomarkers can serve as therapeutic targets for anti-tumoral drugs. Gastric cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer worldwide and the second most lethal. Gastric cancer biomarkers can be used for diagnosis, prediction of sensitivity to treatment, and prognosis. The following search terms were applied to PubMed as of December 2020: 'gastric cancer classification', 'gastric cancer epidemiology', 'cancer metastasis' and 'gastric cancer biomarker'. Only experimental studies were reported in the 'biomarkers' section. Some biomarkers can serve as therapeutic targets for antitumoral drugs. The genes analyzed include E-cadherin, RPRM, XAF1, MINT25, TFF1, p16 and p53. The miRNAs analyzed include miR-18a, miR185-5p, miR-125b and miR-21. Some molecules were associated with metastasis of gastric cancer, specifically those involved with EMT process and tissue degradation.
