Highlights
Despite a decrease in the incidence of gastric cancer, it still ranks fifth among other cancer types and it is encountered as one of the important causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality [1]
Young-age gastric cancer is associated with such prognostic factors as a poorly differentiated histology and advanced disease stage [3,4], some studies have reported a poorer prognosis in young-age gastric cancer due to delays in diagnosis and the presence of poor prognostic factors [5]
A comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups revealed no significant difference in terms of gender, gastrectomy type, tumor localization, T stage, N stage, TNM stage, vascular invasion, perineural invasion, tumor diameter and number of positive lymph nodes (Table 1)
Summary
Despite a decrease in the incidence of gastric cancer, it still ranks fifth among other cancer types and it is encountered as one of the important causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality [1]. Young-age gastric cancer is associated with such prognostic factors as a poorly differentiated histology and advanced disease stage [3,4], some studies have reported a poorer prognosis in young-age gastric cancer due to delays in diagnosis and the presence of poor prognostic factors [5]. Other studies have reported similar or even better prognosis in young-age gastric cancer cases than in elderly patients with gastric cancer [6]. Studies to date have identified the clinicopathological characteristics of young-age patients and the patients in the other age groups, none have addressed prognostic factors for survival in the elderly patient group, nor the effects of these prognostic factors in the young-age patient group. The present study identifies prognostic factors in the young-age patients and determines whether these prognostic factors have an effect in the other age group. The study evaluates whether the prognostic factors in the other age group affect the young-age patients
