Racial Differences in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Incidence and Molecular Features

Figure 1

Age-adjusted incidence rate of esophageal cancer by race. (a) and (b) are the incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophagus adenocarcinoma (EA) from 1992 to 2012. Three major races (White, Asian, and Black) were compared to investigate racial difference. (c) and (d) are the comparison of the esophageal cancer incidence among “SEER White,” “SEER Asian,” “Japan Asian,” and “China Asian”. Data of “Japan Asian” and “China Asian” were obtained from cancer surveillance programs in Japan [14] and China [15].
