- Gastric cancer (GC) is a major health issue, ranked as the fifth most common cancer and cause of cancer death globally, with early-onset gastric cancer (EOGC) affecting individuals up to 45 years old making up about 10% of cases.
- * EOGC tends to be more aggressive and is often diagnosed at a later stage, leading to a poor median survival rate of less than 12 months for advanced GC.
- * The causes of EOGC are not well understood, but genetic factors may play a significant role, and proper diet and lifestyle choices can help in prevention, despite traditional risk factors being less applicable.
