To provide a novel method for detecting gastric cancer that is stable and highly reproducible, which is useful for early detection of gastric cancer, diagnosis of malignancy, and selection of anticancer substances. By detecting inactivation of a human VLDLR (VLDL receptor) gene in gastric tissue cells due to (homozygote) deletion, CpG island methylation, etc., cancer detection of the gastric tissue cells is detected. A method for detecting gastric cancer, comprising: Examples of detection means include DNA chip method, Southern blot method, Northern blot method, real-time RT-PCR method, FISH method, CGH method and the like.
