Core Tip	This article quantitatively summarizes the evidence for the association between Notch signaling pathway and gastric cancer (GC) by meta-analysis, and finds that Notch1 and Notch2 signaling pathways have been activated in GC; increased expression of Notch1 is associated with non-cardia location, > 5 cm size, diffuse type, positive lymphovascular invasion and distal metastasis; Notch1 and Jagged1 may be independent poor prognostic predictors in GC. Notch signaling may participate in tumor formation and progression of GC.
