Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The lack of management strategies for the diagnosis of GC in patients gives rise to the challenging questions about the new tumor markers for GC. Developing malignant process may induce local and systemic inflammatory responses. Cancer-associated inflammation is characterized by the infiltration of immune cells. Thus, the inflammation-related proteins, such as cytokines, chemokines, and selected matrix metalloproteinases, may facilitate the growth, proliferation, and migration of tumor cells, including GC. Based on our previous findings, we assessed the significance of various inflammatory mediators as candidates for tumor markers of GC.
