Abstract
- Gastric cancer mainly occurs in middle-aged and older people after their 50s, and the incidence of gastric cancer in younger people is rare. The frequency of gastric cancer that occurred before 40 years of age is 6-8% of all gastric cancer patients, and most of them are over 35 years of age. The prognosis of gastric cancer in young patients is believed to be poor because of more aggressive tumor behaviors and delayed diagnosis, however, there is controversy.
