Abstract: Early onset gastric cancer (EOGC), defined as gastric cancer occurring at a younger age. Early-onset gastric cancer tends to be poorly differentiated and highly malignant. Genetic material and environmental exposure factors may be the main causes of early occurrence of gastric cancer. Prolonging the survival and improving the quality of life of patients with early-onset gastric cancer is our main research goal in the future. This article aims to elaborate on the current research status and progress of EOGC in terms of its clinicopathological characteristics, molecular genetics, microecological environment, prediction methods, treatment plans, and prognosis, while also exploring potential avenues for future research.
