The survival of esophageal cancer by subtype in China with comparison to the United States

Lan An et al.

Summary: The survival rates of esophageal cancer subtypes have increased in China from 2008 to 2017. From 2015 to 2017, the 5-year survival rates of both subtypes were higher in China compared to the United States. In China, the survival rates were significantly higher in screening areas compared to non-screening areas.

Factors Associated With Geographic Disparities in Gastrointestinal Cancer Mortality in the United States

Christopher Ma et al.

Summary: There is significant geographic variability in mortality from gastrointestinal (GI) cancers in the United States, which is influenced by both patient and structural factors. Cigarette smoking and rural residence are strongly associated with GI cancer-related mortality. Continued public health efforts to reduce smoking and improve care for rural patients are important for reducing disparities in GI cancer-related death.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Potential Impact of Time Trend of Lifestyle Risk Factors on Burden of Major Gastrointestinal Cancers in China

You Wu et al.

Summary: The study shows that in 2011, 56.5% of colorectal, 59.8% of gastric, 48.5% of esophageal, and 35.2% of liver cancers in China were attributable to lifestyle risk factors. Despite improvements in smoking, sodium intake, low vegetable intake, and low fruit intake, they are still far from optimal and are projected to cause significant numbers of GI cancer cases in 2031. High body mass index, red and processed meat consumption, and low physical activity are expected to contribute increasingly to GI cancer over time.
