Objective  To study the relationship between angiopoietin and the angiogenesis of gastric carcinoma, and to investigate the inter-regulation effect between different vascular growth factors which exist in microenvironment of gastric carcinoma.
Methods  Literatures about angiopoietin and angiogenesis of gastric carcinoma were collected and reviewed.
Results  There is a relationship between the expression of angiopoietin in microcirculation and the angiogenesis of gastric carcinoma. Yet, it is still a disputable issue on the inter-regulation effect of different vascular growth factors.
Conclusion  Angiopoietin may play an important role in the processes of sprouting, development and apoptosis of the microvessel of gastric carcinoma.
