The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancy induced by exposure to microplastics and use thereof, and more particularly, it was confirmed that the expression level of CD44, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, PD-L1, NPAS2, NR1D1, DNMT1, SLC7A2, PCDH7 and CLDN7 was changed in cancer cell lines and animal models treated with polystyrene microspheres which are the one type of microplastic for 4 weeks, and malignancy was induced due to an increase in proliferation, migration and invasion of cancer cells by the change in the expression level of the gene, and 5-year overall survival rates in gastric cancer patients decreased and thus the genes may be provided as a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancies by exposure to microplastics.
