Serum Protein and Genetic Tumor Markers of Gastric Carcinoma %K Gastric cancer %K serum tumor markers %K screening and diagnosis %R %X The high incidence of gastric cancer and consequent mortality pose severe threats to human health. Earlyscreening, diagnosis and treatment are the key to improve the prognosis of the patients with gastric cancer.Gastroscopy with biopsy is an efficient method for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer, but the associateddiscomfort and high cost make it difficult to be a routine method for screening gastric cancer. Serum tumormarker assay is a simple and practical method for detection of gastric cancer, but it is limited by poor sensitivityand specificity. Therefore, people have been looking for novel serum markers of gastric cancer in recent years.Here we review the novel serum tumor markers of gastric cancer and their diagnostic significance, focusing onthe discoveries from serum proteomics analyses and epigenetics researches. %U https://journal.waocp.org/article_27803_94f0b503e48cd998f7f8020e4e8a5736.pdf
