Bile acids have been linked to pathomechanism and prognosis in various types of cancers. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of bile acids on the molecular change in gastric epithelial cancer cells and to evaluate gastric bile acid concentration in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC). Human gastric cancer cells (AGS and NCI‑N87 cell lines) were treated with several bile acid types to determine their effect on molecular changes in the cells. Gastric levels of individual bile acids were measured (primary unconjugated or conjugated bile acids and secondary bile acids) in 39 participants (20 controls and 19 patients with EGC). Exposing gastric epithelial cancer cells to primary bile acids
