Objective To summarize the autophagy and its research progress in gastric cancer. Methods In combination with available literatures published in recent years involving the relationship between autophagy and gastric cancer, the characteristics of autophagy, molecular marker, control factors, and the significance and role in gastric cancer were reviewed. Results Autophagy not only promotes cell death, but also can prolong the survival of cancer cells during the tumor formation. Reagents (including traditional Chinese medicine) regulating autophagy have broad prospect of application in cancer therapy, but anti-tumor therapeutic effect based on the regulation of autophagy depends on the actual level of intracellular autophagy. Conclusion The autophagy in the gastric cancer is still poorly understood, and to clarify the molecular mechanism of autophagy and kill cancer cells by reasonable regulation of autophagy still needs more further in-depth studies.
