Incidence-based mortality trends of esophageal cancer (1993–2019) From 1993 to 1998, we observed an increasing trend in overall incidence-based mortality rates for esophageal cancer, with an APC of 4.8% (95% CI 2.4–7.1%), followed by a significant annual decline from 1998 to 2019 (APC, − 1.0% [95% CI − 1.2% to − 0.7%]) (Fig. 1 ).
