Data from Slovakia were analysed to determine whether, in accordance with observations made in western Europe and the United States, there is an increasing occurrence of tumours around the oesophagogastric junction. However, the increase in oesophageal cancers in this area was found to be attributable to squamous cell carcinomas. This is in keeping with observations made in central and eastern Europe of an increase in the incidence of tobacco- and alcohol-related cancers.
对来自斯洛伐克的数据进行了分析，以确定是否如在西欧和美国所观察到的那样，食管胃交界周围肿瘤的发生率在上升。然而，发现该区域食管癌的增加归因于鳞状细胞癌。这与在中欧和东欧观察到的烟草和酒精相关癌症发病率上升的情况一致。
