Background: Esophageal cancer (EC) is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, continuing to be a significant public health concern. 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.

Background: Esophageal cancer, particularly esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), is a leading cause of cancer-related death and has a poor prognosis. Despite the advancements in multidisciplinary therapies, resistance to conventional treatments warrants the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Ferroptosis, a form of cell death dependent on intracellular iron, has emerged as a potential mechanism for targeting cancer cells resistant to apoptosis.

Esophageal cancer (EC) is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis, ranking seventh in incidence and sixth cancer-related deaths globally. EC is classified in two main types, the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), with ESCC being more common in Eastern Europe, South Asia, and Africa, while EAC is prevalent in Western Europe and North America. Molecular analysis identifies three subgroups of ESCC, each with distinct genetic mutations and treatment responses.
