Metabolomics has recently been applied in a variety of biomedical research fields. However, there have been no articles on the application of metabonomics in gastrointestinal cancer and the relevant detailed mechanisms. In this article, the application of metabolomics in early diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer is reviewed, and the metabolic role and metabolic mechanism of lipids, amino acids and carbohydrates, as well as the future challenge of metabolomics in the clinical application are summarized.
