Proposal of age definition for early-onset gastric cancer based on the Korean Gastric Cancer Association nationwide survey data: a retrospective observational study
This study proposes an age of ≤50 years as a criterion for defining EOGC and highlights its features compared to LOGC. Further research using this criterion should guide tailored treatment strategies and improve outcomes for young patients with gastric cancer.
