| Popis: | Background: Over the last decade the incidence rate of gastric cancer in young patients has a trend towards a gradual increase. Our aim was to examine the characteristics of clinical development as well as anatomo-morphologic characteristics of the tumour and to evaluate the results of multimodal treatment of gastric cancer in young patients. Methods: A total of 163 patients record were available for the study. Patient with diagnosis of gastric cancer were evaluated in term of age, sex, race and symptoms. We only employed descriptive statistical methods in statistical analysis with central tendency and dispersion measurements. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was utilized to compare survival data. Results: In the observed group of 28 young gastric cancer patients under the age of 35, with an age range of 20-35 years male to female ratio was 1.3:1. So, for young adults under the age of 35, male population is more predisposed to gastric cancer than female. In all cases the diagnosis was confirmed by histological tests. Glandular and poorly differentiated forms of gastric cancer were prevailing. Conclusions: This present study concludes that pathophysiological process, such as environmental factors and dietary; may interact with genetic factors. A close association has been observed between diffuse gastric cancer and family history in a younger generation of young patients. |
