Abstract：Invasion and metastasis are the basic characteristic of gastric cancer, and as well as the main cause of death in gastric cancer patients. Epithelial cadherin( E?cadherin) plays an important role in the oncogenesis and development of gastric cancer. The decreased expression of E?cadherin can induce epithelial?mesenchymal transition(EMT).So it is very significant for the further study on the relationship between E?cadherin and gastric cancer. It may provide a new theoretical basis for the treatment of gastric canc?er. In this paper, we review the progression in E?cadherin for the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.
