“…Higher esophageal cancer mortality was observed among men than among women consistent with other studies. It has proved that gender differences in esophageal cancer mortality are thought to be related to differences in sex hormones and lifestyle [1,9,11,20]. The age effect on mortality rates of esophageal cancer in rural China showed progressively increasing trends.…”

Background: Esophageal cancer is one of the most common cancers in rural China. The aim of this study was to describe the time trends of esophageal cancer mortality in rural China and to better elucidate the causes of these trends. Methods: The mortality data were obtained from the World Health Organization Mortality Database and the China Health Statistical Yearbook Database. The mortality data were analyzed with age-period-cohort (APC) analysis. Results: Our study indicates that the Age-Standardized Mortality Rates (ASMRs) in rural China generally decreased from 1989 to 2003, and thereafter increased until the year 2008 in both sexes. After 2008, the ASMRs decreased again. The results of APC analysis suggest that the general decrease in esophageal cancer mortality in rural China from 1989 to 2003 might be caused by the downtrend of the cohort effects and period effects, while the general increase in mortality from 2004 to 2008 might be caused by the uptrend of the period effects. The decrease in mortality after 2008 may be relevant to the Four Trillion RMB Investment Plan launched by the Chinese Government. Conclusions: The declining cohort effects were probably related to the improvement of socioeconomic status in childhood and the decreasing consumptions of alcohol drinking and smoking, while the trends of the period effects were relevant to the changes in the dietary pattern. Our findings may help predict future changes in esophageal cancer mortality.

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the incidence of nodal skip metastasis (NSM) to identify the risk factors that influence NSM and to assess the prognostic value of NSM in patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Patients and methodsBetween January 2009 and December 2013, 285 patients with ESCC with positive lymph nodes who underwent complete resection were enrolled.ResultsFor the entire group, NSM occurred in 32.3% (92/285) of patients. The median survival time and 5-year survival rate in the NSM group were 28 months and 12.0%, respectively, compared with 36.3 months and 25.0%, respectively, in the non-NSM group (P=0.008). Both N stage (P=0.001) and T stage (P=0.014) were associated with the incidence of NSM. NSM (P=0.008), T stage (P=0.000), and N stage (P=0.000) were independent prognostic factors for survival. In the NSM group, T stage (P=0.014) and N stage (P=0.000) were independent prognostic factors for survival.ConclusionIt was concluded that NSM is common in ESCC and is associated with poor survival.

“…In 2013, 442,000 new cases and 440,000 deaths were reported . EC has caused 8.9 million daily worldwide in 2013; moreover, EC cancer has reached the 6 th highest in terms of mortality (it ranked 7 th for years of life lost (YLL) in 1990) (Di Pardo et al, 2016). Eighty-four of EC have occurred in developing countries and 16% have occurred in developed ones (Umar and Fleischer, 2008).…”

Introduction: Understanding the epidemiology of Esophageal Cancer (EC) seems to be essential in order to plan and control it. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and mortality rate of EC and its relationship with the worldwide Human Development Index (HDI) of 2012. Materials and Methods: This study was an ecological study which assessed the correlation of age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and agestandardized mortality rate (ASMR) of EC with HDI and its components. ASIR and ASMR data for EC were extracted from the global cancer project for the year 2012. Statistical analyses were performed by SPSS 16. Results: From EC were recorded worldwide in 2012, there was a total of 455,784 incidents of EC (70.86% males and 29.14% females; ratio of males to females was 2.43:1) and 400,169 mortalities (70.27% males and 29.73% females; ratio of males to females was 2.36:1). The correlation between HDI and SIR was -0.121 (p=0.105); with -0.061 (p=0.415) for men and -0.190 (p=0.010) for women. Moreover, the correlation between HDI and SMR was -0.156 (p=0.036), with -0.101
