| Core Tip |
Esophageal cancer, characterized by its aggressive nature and low survival rates, is one of the most common malignant tumors globally. Variations in risk factors between the two primary histological types, squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and adenocarcinoma (EAC), affect their incidence and distribution worldwide. While ESCC is prevalent in specific areas like China and meets criteria for cost-effective early diagnosis, EAC is predominant in Europe and the United States, with the role of early diagnosis in cases arising from Barrett's esophagus being a subject of controversy. The disparities in early-stage treatment across different regions are due to varying rates of early diagnosis, with countries like China and Japan advancing in endoscopic techniques for treatment. Early screening, diagnosis, and treatment significantly reduce the incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer. |
