Core Tip	In the manuscript “Clinical and epidemiologic variations of esophageal cancer in Tanzania”, the authors describe the geographic distribution of esophageal cancer in Tanzania. The regions of Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro have higher incidences of esophageal cancer in comparison to other regions of Tanzania. There were also higher incidences found in the eastern and central parts of Tanzania compared to Western Tanzania. The authors did not find any differences in the age, sex, and histopathologic distribution of esophageal cancer when grouping the regions based on incidence rates.
