ABSTRACT
Gastric cancer (GC) is a lethal disease and the diagnosis in the young population is a major challenge from both individual and social point of views. Early-onset GC accounts for â¼5% of GC; among them, 3% are part of a hereditary syndrome and the majority are sporadic. However, even if the early-onset forms were less frequent in the past, the increasing number in the last decades has improved the interest and awareness of them in the society and in the scientific community. In particular, the different behaviour and characteristics of early-onset GC suggest that it is a completely different entity, which requires a tailored and personalized management. Here we provide an updated overview about non-hereditary early-onset GC, which is an unmet clinical need today, along with future perspectives in this field.
