Long-term trends in the clinical management and outcomes of patients with gastroesophageal cancer in Norway.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Gastroesophageal cancers are highly prevalent internationally, with many patients diagnosed with metastatic disease, leading to challenging treatment and poor survival. This study uses real-world evidence from a population-level database to describe demographics, clinical characteristics, initial treatment patterns, and survival for patients with gastroesophageal cancer in Norway.

Material and methods

Individual patient data was sourced from the Cancer Registry of Norway for patients diagnosed with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC), and gastric cancer from 2001 to 2021, with follow-up from diagnosis to death or last follow-up. Treatment patterns were captured from 2010
