Article Synopsis
- The study reveals a significant rise in esophageal cancer (EC) incidence in Taiwan, particularly in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) among men from 1985 to 2019, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 4.2%.
- Age-period-cohort modeling highlighted increased period effects for ESCC in both genders and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) in men, indicating notable trends over time.
- There is a strong correlation between rising incidence rates of ESCC and the prevalence of risk factors, particularly linked to birth-cohort effects from 1970 to 1995.
