TL;DR: To monitor recent trends in mortality from oesophageal cancer in 33 European countries, the data provided by the World Health Organization over the last 2 decades were analyzed using joinpoint regression and Squamous‐cell carcinoma remained the prevalent histological type in southern Europe.

TL;DR: These updated estimates of the global burden of oesophageal and gastric cancer by subtype and site suggest an ongoing transition in epidemiological patterns and will aid in developing appropriate cancer control strategies.

TL;DR: With the number of annual cancer cases and deaths likely to increase by at least 70% by 2030, there is a pressing need for a coordinated approach to improving the extent and quality of services for cancer control in Africa, and better surveillance systems with which they can be planned and monitored.

TL;DR: The decreasing BTC mortality trends essentially reflect more widespread and earlier adoption of cholecystectomy in several countries, since gallstones are the major risk factor for BTC.

TL;DR: Global geographic variation remained substantial for both overall and age‐specific incidence rates regardless of levels of PSA testing, with the lowest rates consistently in Asia.
