Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumor in the world. The prognosis is relatively poor due to the lack of early diagnostic markers and drug resistance to existing treatment options. The study of novel methods of cell death is expected to provide new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. At present，novel cell death methods in gastric cancer include ferroptosis，pyroptosis，necroptosis，autophagy，lysosome - dependent cell death and NETosis，all of which belong to programmed cell death. In order to provide theoretical bases and research directions for the diagnosis and targeted therapy of gastric cancer，this article reviews the relationships between gastric cancer and cell death methods.
