Risk Stratification in Primary Gastric Malignancies in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults: A SEER-Based Analysis
Gastric cancers in patients ≤ 24 years often present at advanced stages and are dominated by aggressive histology. Prognosis is primarily determined by tumour stage, histological subtype, and lymph nodal burden. These population-based risk estimates support risk stratification and prognostic assessment in young patients by highlighting histology- and nodal-burden-driven prognostic strata.
