Changing trends in the disease burden of esophageal cancer in China from 1990 to 2017 and its predicted level in 25 years
Abstract Background Nearly half of the cases of esophageal cancer in the world were in China, but the corresponding burden in China has not been estimated for the past decades or for the near future. Methods Data on the incidence, mortality, and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) rates owing to...

The most common risk factors for males were smoking and alcohol consumption, while the most common risk factors for females were a diet low in fruits and a high body mass index (BMI).

Hence, national policies should be adopted to promote the prevention and management of known risk factors for it, especially smoking and excessive caloric intake.https://doi.org/10.1002/cam4.3775disease burdenesophageal cancerpredictionrisk factorstrend |
