abstract = {Background: The current study sought to explore the potential clinical, epidemiological and genetic differences between early-onset gastric cancer (E-gastric cancer: defined as 20–39 years) and traditional-onset gastric cancer (T-gastric cancer: defined as ≥40 years).
Methods: Datasets from the following sources were searched: Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database [2000–2014], Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey and the cancer genome atlas (TCGA). Clinicopathological characteristics, trends, and genetic findings were compared between E-gastric cancer and T-gastric cancer. Moreover, correlations with relevant risk factors were sought after.
Results: A total of 95,323 gastric cancer patients were identified in the period from 2000 to 2014. While T-gastric cancer was decreasing during the study period (−1.4; P},
