Zusammenfassung

Objectives: The incidence of esophageal cancer has substantially changed in Western populations in the last few decades, with striking differences between the two main histological subtypes – squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and adenocarcinoma (EA). Several studies reported increases in the incidence of EA and stable or decreasing rates of ESCC. This analysis aimed to evaluate trends in the incidence of esophageal cancer by histologic subtype in Germany using national data over a 11-year period. Methods: We analyzed esophageal cancer incidence using pooled data from population-based cancer registries stratified by…
