Time trends of esophageal and gastric cancer mortality in China, 1991–2009: an age-period-cohort analysis

Abstract Esophageal and gastric cancers share some risk factors. This study aimed to compare the long-term trends in mortality rates of esophageal and gastric cancers in China to provide evidence for cancer prevention and control. Mortality data were derived from 103 continuous points of the Disease...
