Abstract excerpt

About 40,000 inhabitants migrated from a high-risk area of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to a low-risk area of esophageal cancer 40 years ago. Little is known about the change in the mortality in esophageal cancer among these immigrants. This study examined the impact of changing environments on esophageal cancer by comparing age-standardized mortality rates of immigrant group to the rates of native...
