Global burden and temporal trends in incidence and mortality of oesophageal cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Oesophageal cancer is a prevalent and deadly cancer around the world.

Objectives

We aimed to present a comprehensive analysis of the global geographic patterns and temporal trends in the mortality and incidence of oesophageal cancer.

Methods

The mortality and incidence data of oesophageal cancer in 2020 were obtained from the GLOBOCAN database. Based on World Health Organization (WHO) mortality database and the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5), we also retrieved the mortality and incidence age-standardized rates (ASRs) of oesophageal cancer. The average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) of mortality and incidence were calculated using the joinpoint regression analysis.

Results

Globally, 0.54 million deaths and 0.6 million new cases were id
