Background: Incidence of Esophageal cancer (EC) is increasing now a days and it has became a sixth leading cause of cancer related death in world. EC is associated with multiple risk factors. Despite various advances in the treatment of EC, it remains one of the least responsive tumors to cancer therapy, thereby overall prognosis remains poor. The current status of EC in North West India in relation to the demographics, diagnosis, staging, multimodality treatment, and the future perspectives are discussed. Methods and Materials: This is a retrospective analysis of medical records of the EC patients registered in the Department of Radiation Oncology SMS Medical and Attached Hospitals Jaipur from January 2015 to December 2019. Results: Out of 10,464 patients with various malignancies registered in SMS hospital for radiotherapy via Co-60 technique in the previous 5 years from 2015-2019; 449 were having EC. 40.25% patients were in 6th decade and male to female ratio was 1.49:1. EC was most common in farmers (51.79%) and 76.16% patients were the resident of rural areas addicted with smoking (41.4%) and tobacco chewing (24.7%) habit. Dysphagia was the presenting feature in almost all the patients. Most common type and site of involvement were squamous type (75.72%) and middle third (45.43%) part of the esophagus respectively. 39.19% patients presented in stage III and 24.70% patients in stage IVA. The patients were planned with treatment according to their age, performance status, extent of disease and other co-morbidities. Conclusions: At our centre most of the patients landed up in advanced stage poverty, illiteracy, ignorance, late diagnosis. Majority of the EC patient were addicted with smoking and tobacco chewing habit, hence screening of high risk population and lifestyle modifications limiting the use of tobacco, may help in the early detection and can decrease the mortality related to EC. Careful selection of patients for radical treatment is very important for providing relatively longer disease free interval.

“…Vishal Gupta et al find same type of presentation in his study. 16 Most important risk factors associated with esophageal carcinoma are smoking (bidi, cigarette or both), tobacco chewing and misuse of alcohol. 17 Even only one factor is independently related to causation of esophageal carcinoma but when more than one risk factors present in any individual then risk will increase by many more times.…”

Background: Esophageal cancer is associated with multiple risk factors and associated with poor prognosis. Incidence of Esophageal cancer is increases now a days and it became a sixth leading cause of cancer related death in world. The purpose of this study was to know the clinical profile of patients of esophageal cancer in a tertiary care teaching hospital of Gujrat, India.Methods: This is a retrospective hospital record based study for a period of 2015 to 2018 in which 103 patients with endoscopic biopsy confirmed cases of esophageal cancer were analyzed for clinical profile.Results: Esophageal cancer was most common in low socioeconomic men (66%) of 5th decades (26.21%) associated with tobacco chewing (64.07%) as a major risk factor and dysphagia (86.76%) as most common presenting feature. Most common type and involvement were sqamous type (72.81%) and distal third (50.48%) part of the esophagus respectively.Conclusions: Primordial prevention and screening of patients may decrease mortality related to esophageal carcinoma.

“…The lower third of the esophagus was most involved. And adenocarcinoma was found to be the most common histopathological subtype, which is not comparable with Gupta et al's study since Gupta et al found that the upper and middle third of the esophagus was most involved and squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histopathological subtype [12].…”

Background: Solid malignant tumors are abnormal masses of tissue that usually do not contain any cysts or liquid areas. The causation of these tumors is multifactorial, and the disease process differs at different sites.Aim: This study aims to determine the clinicopathological patterns of malignant solid tumors in adult patients admitted into the department of internal medicine of a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh.
