Abstract
Cancer of the œsophagus occurs after the age of 50 and is met most frequently in the 6th and 7th decades and more often in males than females. The incidence is stationary. This cancer has remarkable epidemiological features, being very common in parts of the USSR (60 males per 100,000 of the population of Turkmenistan) and in parts of South and Central America (17 per 100,000 in Puerto Rico) and rarest among the white female population of the USA.
