既往的肿瘤发生机制研究多注意细胞的增生异常 ,近期的资料表明 ,细胞凋亡作为细胞增殖紊乱的对立面 ,在肿瘤的发生发展中起着相当重要的作用。近年来 ,有关细胞凋亡与胃癌关系的报道日益增多。本文试对细胞凋亡与胃癌发生发展的关系作一综述。1　细胞凋亡概述1972年Kerr[1] 在 Previous studies on the mechanism of tumorigenesis pay more attention to the abnormal proliferation of cells. Recent data show that apoptosis plays an important role in the development and progression of tumors as the opposite of cell proliferation disorder. In recent years, reports on the relationship between apoptosis and gastric cancer have been increasing. This article attempts to review the relationship between apoptosis and the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. Apoptosis Overview 1972 Kerr [1] at
