Esophageal cancer ranks the eighth in the world’s cancer incidence and the sixth in the global cancer death cause. There are two major histological subtypes of the esophagus: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Esophageal cancer is mainly a disease of the male population over 55 years of age. Men get sick more often than women on average 5-10 times. The peak incidence occurs at the age of 55-60 and older, with people over 70 accounting for about 40 percent of cases. The highest incidence is observed in the so-called "Central Asian zone of esophageal cancer", which includes the Caspian coast, Central Asian republics, Mongolia and northwestern China. In the structure of cancer incidence in Uzbekistan, esophageal cancer is 3.8% in men and 3.7% in women.
