The aim of this study is to present the mortality trends of oesophageal cancer (EC) in the Iranian population, to provide updated information regarding time trends for this cancer.
We analysed the national death statistics reported by the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education from 1995 to 2004. EC [International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9); C15] were expressed as the annual mortality rates/100000, overall, by sex and by age group (<15, 15-49 and ≥ 50 years of age) and age standardised rate (ASR).
The age standardised mortality rate of EC increased dramatically during the study period. EC mortality was higher for males and the mortality rate also increased with age.
This study provides a comprehensive projection for the burden of death due to EC, indicating that the trend of EC mortality dramatically increased in the recent decade.
本研究旨在呈现伊朗人群食管癌（EC）的死亡率趋势，以提供有关该癌症时间趋势的最新信息。
我们分析了伊朗卫生和医学教育部报告的1995年至2004年全国死亡统计数据。食管癌[国际疾病分类（ICD - 9）；C15]以每年每10万人的死亡率表示，总体上按性别、年龄组（<15岁、15 - 49岁和≥50岁）以及年龄标准化率（ASR）进行统计。
在研究期间，食管癌的年龄标准化死亡率急剧上升。男性的食管癌死亡率更高，且死亡率也随年龄增长而增加。
本研究提供了食管癌所致死亡负担的全面预测，表明近十年来食管癌死亡率趋势急剧上升。
