Previous studies reported the utility of serum tumor markers (such as CEA, CA12-5 and CA19-9) and gastrin-17 in the diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC). However, the value of these serum markers for diagnosing GC is still under debate. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of gastrin-17, CEA, CA12-5 and CA19-9 in the diagnosis of GC.
