The age of onset of gastric cancer is high at 55-70 years old, mostly in men, and it is important for early screening and early treatment of gastric cancer.
The age of onset of gastric cancer is now trending younger. Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor with high incidence in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in middle-aged and older people, with 55-70 years being the high incidence age, and more common in men, and the cause may be related to the diet structure, overeating, stimulation by tobacco and alcohol, benign polyps, and history of chronic atrophic gastritis.
For the age of onset of gastric cancer, which is more frequent after middle and old age, the overall age of onset is earlier. The early stage of gastric cancer usually has no obvious symptoms or mild symptoms, which can include nausea, vomiting, burning in the upper abdomen, bloating, and weakness. If early diagnosis is possible, the most effective treatment option is to choose surgery to remove most of the stomach, which also requires contouring of the abdominal lymph nodes. After surgery, the depth of tumor infiltration into the stomach wall, as well as the metastasis of the lymph nodes, must be detailed to determine the adjuvant treatment plan.
If symptoms such as digestive discomfort worsen, or weakness or weight loss occur, you need to be seen for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent the development of gastric cancer.
