ABSTRACT: Background
The increasing incidence of gastric cancer (GC) in younger populations, coupled with population aging, has highlighted distinct age-related subtypes with unique clinical characteristics and outcomes. Although younger patients tend to have more aggressive tumors, the prognostic factors for early-onset gastric cancer (EOGC) remain underexplored. This study is dedicated to providing a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of prognostic factors in EOGC, aiming to refine personalized treatment strategies under the precision medicine paradigm.Methods
This retrospective study encompassed 413 local cohort EOGC patients and 8447 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database patients diagnosed with GC. Survival outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves
