  • To analyze the trend in the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma over recent years in Akita Prefecture.

Abstract

Using the most recent data from Akita's hospital-based registry, we demonstrate that both the number and incidence of EAC approximately doubled between 2010-2014 and 2020-2024, indicating that the upward trend that began around 2010 has persisted.
