Core Tip This study compares early-onset gastric cancer (EOGC) and mid-aged gastric cancer (M-GC) using an evidence-based age cutoff of 50 years and inverse probability of treatment weighting to minimize age-related confounders. Despite a higher prevalence of aggressive diffuse-type histology, EOGC patients demonstrated superior recurrence-free and overall survival compared to M-GC patients. These findings suggest that the perceived biological aggressiveness of EOGC does not necessarily translate into poorer outcomes when standardized radical surgery and adjuvant therapies are effectively delivered. This underscores the importance of optimized management for the growing young adult patient population.
