Abstract:

Gastric cancer remains a significant global health burden, with the majority of cases diagnosed in advanced stages. Although it is more prevalent in older individuals, there has been an increasing trend of gastric cancer in young adults in recent years. This case report presents a 29-year-old male with a history of poor dietary habits and recent onset of abdominal symptoms, who was ultimately diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma. The patient's clinical course, diagnostic workup, treatment approach, and outcome are described in detail. A comprehensive literature review of the latest three-year research on gastric cancer in young adults is also provided, covering aspects such as epidemiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This case aims to raise awareness of the importance of early detection and appropriate management of gastric cancer, even in the young population, and contribute to the growing body of knowledge on this disease.
