Core Tip	Gastric carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in the digestive tract and is the second leading cause of cancer-related death. This study retrospectively examined 2100 adult patients from southern China. Gastric carcinomas were found frequently in old men and young women. No obvious changes of patient age and gender were observed in the last 18 years. Although most patients were at advanced stages when first diagnosed, early detection rates have increased. The young and the old patients differed in gender composition, tumor size, predilection site, pathological type and prognosis. Therefore, these patients should be treated differently in the clinic.
