| Core Tip |
The most common type of esophageal cancer in developing countries, including Sub-Saharan Africa, is squamous cell carcinoma, in contrast to the United States and United Kingdom, in which adenocarcinoma predominates. Yet, there are few studies evaluating risk factors, antioxidant status and the role of oxidative stress of esophageal cancer in Africa. This study explores the association of a non-invasive marker for oxidative stress in esophageal cancer.
