Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Although in recent years tremendous progress has been made in its early detection, the postoperative overall survival (OS) of GC patients remains extremely low. A number of studies have shown that age, to varying degrees, affects the prognosis of patients with GC. Therefore, this study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathologic data of patients with GC to explore the differences in the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in different age groups.
