Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality (1). Although great progress has been made in the treatment of GC, the prognosis is still not optimistic. Apart from typical pathological prognostic factors, the demographic characteristics of patients, especially age, have been proven to affect survival outcomes of multiple cancers, including colorectal (2) and prostate cancer (3). The GC incidence rate increases gradually with age (4). The age of patients at GC onset is generally between Original Article
