| Core Tip |
Proximal esophageal cancer is a rare disease, accounting for only 10% of all esophageal cancer cases. Limited data on treatment and survival in this rare tumor have been published, restricting patient counseling. The present investigation is the largest population-based cohort study evaluating trends in treatment and survival in proximal esophageal cancer. This study represents daily clinical practice, showing improvement in overall survival in patients with non-metastatic proximal esophageal cancer, with a shift to non-surgical treatment. |
