Obesity is a risk factor for cancer development and is associated with poor prognosis in multiple tumor types. There is emerging evidence of a strong association between obesity and gastrointestinal cancer. The molecular mechanism underlying gastric cancer invasion and metastasis is still poorly understood. Problem of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in gastric cancer remains to be relevant for clinics and less is known concerning this problem for patients with obesity.
