Abstract: microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous noncoding RNAs, which play important roles in the regulation of gene terms. miRNAs affect almost every physiological process of the body, and many diseases are related to the disorders of miRNAs. Current studies show that the abnormal expressions of miRNAs are closely relate to the tumorigenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of gastric cancer. So miRNAs can be used as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the gastric cancer.

Key words: MicroRNAs, Stomach neoplasms
