Upper gastrointestinal cancers global burden profile, trends, contributors, and attributable change in life expectancy from 1990 to 2021
Global analysis reveals preventable risk factors and geographic inequities in upper gastrointestinal cancers, guiding targeted prevention and policy efforts.
This comprehensive GBD analysis characterizes upper gastrointestinal cancer trends, risk contributors, and life expectancy impact globally from 1990-2021, revealing persistent disparities in burden between high and low-income settings. The findings highlight modifiable risk factors and geographic inequities relevant to population health and cancer prevention policy.
