Abstract Objectives Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers in the world, causing a large number of deaths every year. The Slit‐Robo signalling pathway, initially discovered for its critical role in neuronal guidance, has recently been shown to modulate tumour invasion and metastasis in several human cancers. However, the role of Slit‐Robo signalling and the molecular mechanisms underlying its role in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer remains to be elucidated.
