Abstract
The miRNAs are valuable biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer. This chapter summarizes current advances of microRNA biomarkers of gastric cancer; especially miR-16-5p and miR-19b-3p were identified to be the novel potential plasma biomarkers to detect gastric cancer. This chapter also reviews the main detection methods of microRNA biomarkers.
