Results of evaluation of clinical course and morpho-functional changes taking place in intact mucosa of young patients with gastric cancer are presented. The study included 66 patients, aged 18-35 yrs, treated at the Center's Clinic. The course of the disease was generally very rapid and masked as non-tumor process. Histologically, tumor appeared highly virulent. Changes in the gastric mucosa outside tumor itself were similar to those in non-atrophic gastritis and, therefore, most susceptible to malignant conversion.
