1991年1月~1997年6月间收治胃癌212例,其中年龄40岁以下的青年胃癌34例。对他们的临床、病理特点进行了分析,并与同期非青年组进行对比,认为青年胃癌具有分化差、转移早且方式多样,病情发展快,预后差和容易误诊等特点。这些特点可能同青年胃癌多属弥漫型胃癌,而非青年组多属肠型胃癌密切相关。提高警惕。及早进行胃镜检查,多部位活检乃是早发现早诊断的根本途径。 From January 1991 to June 1997, 212 cases of gastric cancer were treated, of which 34 cases were younger than 40 years old. Their clinical and pathological features were analyzed and compared with the non-youth group in the same period. It was considered that young patients have different characteristics such as poor differentiation, early metastasis, various methods, rapid disease progression, poor prognosis, and being easily misdiagnosed. These characteristics may be related to the diffuse gastric cancer in young people, but not in the young group. Increase vigilance. Early gastroscopy, multi-site biopsy is the fundamental way to early detection and early diagnosis.
