The report, summarizing a study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, said researchers conducted a time-trend, population-based analysis of UGI cancer incidence rates using data from 2001 to 2019.
During that period, 2,333,161 incidents of UGI cancer were reported (men, 60.5%; younger than age 55 years, 14.3%). The pancreas was the most common primary site (34.6%), followed by the stomach (20.4%) and liver (18.6%).
The age-adjusted mortality rate decreased for young men and increased in young women.
