Abstract

The fifth most frequent cancer in the world is gastric cancer. It ranks as the fourth most common reason for cancer-related deaths. Even though surgery is the only curative treatment for stomach cancer, adding adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy is preferable than only surgery. The majority of patients, however, are discovered to be extremely tardy the first time and have a terrible prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to create more viable therapy modalities. A growing number of studies in recent years have shown that ferroptosis and many cancer types are related. This gives our treatment a fresh viewpoint. We investigated the relationship between different signal pathways and non-coding RNA on ferroptosis in gastric cancer cells. Also discussed the targets cause ferroptosis resistance increased or reduced to the influence of the chemoresistance,proliferation and metastasis.
