and the cancer stem cell theory in the gastric neoplasms were retrieved through PubMed, the research progress of gastrointestinal stem cells and cancer stem cells in the gastric neoplasms was explored.
Results  The cancer stem cell theory arose a decade ago. Gastrointestinal stem cells played a very important role in the gastric neoplasms, which had specific markers and their niches included many kinds of tissue factors. Inflammation could induce gastrointestinal stem cells dysplasia and become cancer stem cells, which promoted the growth, invasion, and metastasis of the gastric neoplasms.
