| Core Tip |
Esophageal cancer is an important cause of cancer related deaths world-wide, but particularly in Africa where mortality rates due to this condition have been found to be higher. We systematically reviewed the literature on esophageal cancer in Africa and present our findings on the incidence, risk factors, management strategies, resultant outcomes and overall survival. |
