Time trends incidence of both major histologic types of esophageal carcinomas in selected countries, 1973-1995.

摘要: The purpose of our study was to examine the incidence patterns 2 major histologic types esophageal cancer, in selected countries world-wide and identify components birth cohort, period age as determinants observed time trends using regression modeling. roles temporal changes specification histology tumors classification cancers at gastroesophageal junction or gastric origin were taken into consideration. In all, 56,426 cancer cases included. results indicate that rate squamous cell carcinoma esophagus has been relatively stable most analyzed, although increasing Denmark Netherlands (Eindhoven) among men Canada, Scotland Switzerland women.
