Global trends of esophageal cancer among individuals over 60 years: an epidemiological analysis from 1990 to 2050 based on the global burden of disease study 1990-2021
Analysis indicates varying trends across different regions. Behavioral risk factors, particularly smoking and alcohol use, significantly contribute to the burden of EC, especially among males. Projections suggest that despite declining age-standardized rates, the absolute number of cases, deaths, and DALYs will continue to rise due to population growth and aging, highlighting the ongoing global challenge of EC.
