The Global Burden of Esophageal Cancer: A Disability‐Adjusted Life‐Year Approach

Abstract: A substantial number of years of life were lost or affected by esophageal cancer worldwide in 2008, with the burden resting disproportionately on less-developed countries. Geographically, the greatest burden is in Eastern Asia. The vast majority of DALYs were due to YLL, rather than YLD, indicating the need to focus resources on disease prevention and early detection. Our findings provide an additional basis upon which to formulate global priorities for interventions that affect DALY reduction in esophageal ca… Show more

“…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.…”

“…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).…”
