Diagnostic value of serum levels of galanin and obestatin in patients with gastric cancer.
Gastric cancer ranks the third among the cancer-related deaths. It is diagnosed at advanced stage in many patients due to malignant proliferation and has a poor prognosis. Currently, no instrument or biomarker has been proven to diagnose the disease before the advanced stages. This study aimed to measure the serum levels of galanin and obestatin, which were examined in various studies including cancer studies, and to discuss their diagnostic value in gastric cancers. ⋯ Serum levels of galanin were lower and serum levels of obestatin were higher in patients with gastric cancer compared to the healthy individuals. Serum levels of obestatin and galanin can be used as potential biomarkers in the diagnosis of gastric cancer.
