Core Tip	Early-onset gastric cancer accounts for a decreasing proportion of all gastric cancers but presents at a younger age. The disease is characterized by female predominance, diffuse histology, and high propensity for peritoneal and ovarian metastasis. Overall survival has improved markedly over time, likely due to increased rates of radical surgery, better nutritional status, and advances in systemic therapies.
