Research progress of serum markers in the detection of early gastric cancer
Gastric cancer is the most common gastric malignant tumor,and the incidence is getting higher in our country.Most patients are diagnosed with gastric cancer when it is in the advanced stage with poor treatment effect and high mortality.The therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients with early gastric cancer are better than those with advanced gastric cancer,so early diagnosis and treatment become the key to the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.At present,the gold standard for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer is biopsy,which is invasive,painful to patients,expensive and easy to miss,so it is not suitable as a screening method.Detection of serum markers,a non-invasive method,provides a new strategy for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer.This article reviews the progress of serum markers in the detection of early gastric cancer.
