Core Tip	Gastric cancer is a heterogeneous disease with multiple environmental etiologies and alternative pathways of carcinogenesis. Somatic mtDNA mutations and variable mtDNA copy number are involved in gastric tumorigenesis. The aim of this article is to review the growing literature on the mtDNA changes in distal gastric carcinomas and in their precancerous conditions. Furthermore, the authors describe which research questions remain unexplored , and suggest future research directions.
