    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between the biological behavior and prognostic factors in treating gastric cancer of young persons by various surgical methods. METHODS: 89 young patients with gastric cancer aged 35 years or less were analyzed. RESULTS: The resectable rate was 73.0% (65/89), radical resectable rate 48.3% (43/89), and palliative resectable rate 24.7% (22/89). The 5-year survival rate was 24.7% (22/89) and 48.8% (21/43) for the radical group. Biological characteristics included infiltrated, diffused growth, lymph node metastasis, female predominance. CONCLUSIONS: The biological behavior of gastric cancer in young persons is poor. Early management gastric cancer and radical operation combined with complex treatment are essential.
