Core Tip	Low folate status is involved in the development of gastric cancer, but the role of folate in invasiveness of gastric cancer remains unclear. In addition, although folate levels in blood may reflect the degree of folate depletion, an association between blood folate status and gastric cancer has not been established. In this case-control study, we found lower serum folate was significantly associated with gastric cancer development. Besides, in the patient cohort of gastric cancer, lower serum folate was significantly associated with invasive phenotypes such as serosal invasion, lymphatic invasion and liver metastasis. These findings warrant further study.
