Trends in incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer in China 1990-2019: A joinpoint and age-period-cohort analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence and mortality trends of esophageal cancer (EC) remain unknown in China. This study aimed to describe the trend in incidence and mortality of EC in China.

Methods

We extracted age-standardized rates and numbers of EC in China for 1990-2019 from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019. The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) were calculated to describe the trends, while the annual percentage of change and the average annual percent change (AAPC) were analyzed by the joinpoint regression analysis. The incidence and mortality data were analyzed via age-period-cohort model analysis.

Results

The ASIR and ASMR decreased slightly before 1999, then increased from 1999 to 2004, and decreased again the
