Gastric adenocarcinoma developed in two young patients following successful radiation therapy and chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma in childhood. The age of presentation with gastric cancer, 14 years and 24 years, respectively, is so strikingly different from that expected as to suggest a causal relationship. Gastric adenocarcinoma may be another complication of the “successful” aggressive management of malignant tumors in young people.
