Do young people have a high chance of developing stomach cancer?

Are young people more likely to develop stomach cancer?

Generally speaking, the risk of gastric cancer in young people is relatively small. However, a small number of young people may have gastric cancer, so they still need to pay attention.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa. Most cases occur between the ages of 50 and 60. The onset of gastric cancer is affected by genetic and environmental factors. If there is a gastric cancer patient in a person's family, the chance of developing gastric cancer will increase significantly, and the age of onset will be younger, which may also be one of the reasons why young people suffer from gastric cancer.

The occurrence of gastric cancer is also affected by environmental factors. If you often eat fried, grilled or pickled foods in your diet, it may increase the risk of gastric cancer in young people, and eating rotten foods frequently may also increase the risk of gastric cancer.

If young people have a family genetic tendency to gastric cancer and do not pay attention to their daily life, such as eating without restraint, drinking frequently, smoking heavily, overeating, eating unhealthy food, and having irregular work and rest, etc., the probability of developing gastric cancer may increase.

If young people want to reduce the risk of gastric cancer, the most important thing is to maintain a regular life, pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, exercise appropriately, do not stay up late, quit smoking and drinking, eat more light and easily digestible food, and do not eat so-called junk food often.
