Gastric cancer is the fifth most common malignant tumor in the world. It is considered to be the second most common cause of cancer-related death. It is still described as the preserve of people aged over 50. However, it is rarely described in young people. In this study, we report three cases of gastric cancer for subjects under 35 years of age.
The study was a retrospective single-center non-consecutive case series.
We report three cases of gastric cancer for young people under 35 years old. The consultation reason was chronic pain with a mean evolution of 2.1 years associated with post prandial vomiting. Clinical, biological and prognostic aspects were evaluated. Biopsies in all these patients were consistent with a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. The mean age was 28.3 years, with males predominating.
Gastric cancer is generally considered to be a pathology of the elderly, but it can also occur in younger patients. Late consultation for treatment leads to late-stage diagnosis and a poorer prognosis.
胃癌是全球第五大常见恶性肿瘤。它被认为是癌症相关死亡的第二大常见原因。它仍被描述为50岁以上人群的疾病。然而,在年轻人中很少有相关描述。在本研究中,我们报告了3例年龄在35岁以下的胃癌病例。
本研究为回顾性单中心非连续性病例系列研究。
我们报告了3例35岁以下年轻人的胃癌病例。就诊原因是慢性疼痛,平均病程为2.1年,伴有餐后呕吐。对临床、生物学和预后方面进行了评估。所有这些患者的活检结果均符合中分化腺癌。平均年龄为28.3岁,男性居多。
胃癌通常被认为是老年人的疾病,但也可能发生在年轻患者中。治疗延迟就诊导致晚期诊断和较差的预后。
