Popis: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Patients with advanced GC need palliative care to ensure survival. This includes the use of chemotherapy agents, such as cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, and pemetrexed, as well as targeted agents. However, the emergence of drug resistance evidence in poor patient outcomes and poor prognosis is a motivation to determine the specific mechanism of drug resistance. Interestingly, circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important part in the carcinogenesis and progression of GC and are involved in GC drug resistance. This review systematically summarizes the functions and mechanisms of circRNAs underlying GC drug resistance, especially chemoresistance. It also emphasizes that circRNAs can serve as promising targets for improving drug resistance and therapeutic efficacy.
