“…A geographic variation in BE cancer risk has been suggested by another group [46]. Very small differences in the EAC incidence were reported between different geographic regions, with only a slightly higher EAC incidence in the USA and UK compared to other European countries, which is in line with other studies [63,64]. The incidence in Australia and New Zealand was slightly lower than that in the USA and Europe including the UK [63].…”

“…However, in the meta-analysis by Thomas et al [63], the incidence in the UK (0.7 % per year) was the same as the incidence in the USA (0.7 % per year), providing no support for the hypothesis of geographic variation in cancer incidence. However, Thomas et al mentioned that this result may be confounded by the inclusion of two large UK studies.…”
