Abstract:
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition( EMT ) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition are involved in the process of development of tissues and organs in embryonic stage. Currently studies are focused on the relationship between EMT and tumor invasion and metastasis. This article reviewed the role of EMT in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer by analyzing the relationship between EMT and gastritis,gastric mucosal barrier,initiation of gastric carcinogenesis, metastasis and invasion,drug resistance and immune escape which may provide insights to the pathologic mechanism and approaches to prevent and treat gastric cancer.
