Overview
Esophageal cancer is a relatively rare form of cancer, but some world areas have a markedly higher incidence than others: China, India and Japan, as well as the United Kingdom, appear to have a higher incidence, as well as the region around the Caspian Sea.[1]
The American Cancer Society estimates that during 2007, approximately 15,560 new esophageal cancer cases will be diagnosed in the United States.[2]
The esophageal cancer incidence and mortality rates for people of African-Americans have been higher than the rate for Caucasians. [3] According to the NCI, incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, which is associated with Barrett's esophagus, is rising in the United States. This type is more common in Caucasian men over the age of 60.
Multiple reports indicate that esophageal adenocarcinoma incidence has increased during the past 20 yr, especially in non-Hispanic white men. Esophageal adenocarcinoma age-adjusted incidence increased in New Mexico from 1973 to 1997. This increase was found in non-Hispanic whites and Hispanics and became predominant in non-Hispanic whites. [4]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- In the United States, the age adjusted prevalence of invasive esophageal cancer is 0.0086% in 2011.[5]
Incidence
- The delay-adjusted incidence of invasive esophageal cancer in 2011 was estimated to be 4.51 per 100,000 persons in the United States.[5]
- In 2011, the age-adjusted incidence of invasive esophageal cancer was 4.45 per 100,000 persons in the United States.[5]
Age
- While the overall age adjusted incidence of invasive esophageal cancer in the United States between 2007 and 2011 is 4.4 per 100,000, the age-adjusted incidence of invasive esophageal cancer by age category is:[5]
- Under 65 years: 1.8 per 100,000
- 65 and over: 22.5 per 100,000
Gender
- In the United States, the age adjusted prevalence of invasive esophageal cancer by gender in 2011 is:[5]
- In males: 0.0147%
- In females: 0.0036%
- In the United States, the delay-adjusted incidence of invasive esophageal cancer by gender in 2011 is:[5]
- In males: 7.83 per 100,000 persons
- In females: 1.83 per 100,000 persons
- In the United States, the age-adjusted incidence of invasive esophageal cancer by gender on 2011 is:[5]
- In males: 7.72 per 100,000 persons
- In females: 1.80 per 100,000 persons
Shown below is an image depicting the delay-adjusted incidence and observed incidence of invasive esophageal cancer by gender and race in the United States between 1975 and 2011. These graphs are adapted from SEER: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute.[5]
Race
- Shown below is a table depicting the age adjusted prevalence of invasive esophageal cancer by race in 2011 in the United States.[5]
| All Races | White | Black | Asian/Pacific Islander | Hispanic | |
| Age-adjusted prevalence | 0.0086% | 0.0094% | 0.0070% | 0.0047% | 0.0048% |

- Squamous cell carcinoma: 33.6%
- Adenocarcinoma: 60.7%
- Other specific carcinoma: 1.5%
- Carcinoma not otherwise specified: 3.2%
- Epidermoid carcinoma: 33.7%
- Other specific types: 0.3%
- Unspecified: 0.6%
