Ab initio calculations of cross sections for electron capture by protons in collisions with CO are carried out at energies between 100 eV/u and 50 keV/u, employing a semiclassical method within the Franck-Condon framework. The scattering wave function is expanded in a set of ab initio electronic wave functions of the HCO supermolecule. The calculation is performed on several trajectory orientations to obtain orientation-averaged total cross sections.

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of staging and histopathology of EC on associated mortality. The study also aims to further investigate clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and survival outcomes in patients diagnosed with EC between 2010 and 2017.
