Although the advancement of molecular oncology in gastric cancer lags behind that of colorectal cancer, the rapid developments witnessed in recent years have improved our understanding of the carcinogenesis, aetiology, progression and metastasis of gastric cancer. The different molecular genetic alterations in intestinal and diffuse types of gastric cancer have further supported the concept that these two pathological types are different disease entities. The association of telomerase and cadherin changes with Helicobacter pylori infection reinforces its aetiological role. The mutated cadherin gene identified in familial gastric cancer has shone light onto the pathogenesis. Adhesion molecules have already been applied to daily clinical practice as prognostic markers. Future molecular studies will contribute to the screening, classification, disease monitoring and therapeutics of gastric cancer.
