Work with primary Dr: The estimated percentage of stomach cancers that occur in people in their 20's or younger, is zero percent. A research study from the UK found that about 8% of cases were in the age 36-55 yr old range, and about 92% were in the over 55 year old range. Zero percent were in the 0-35 yr old range. If a person has relatives who got stomach cancer before age 55, she may have more risk.
