Oesophageal cancer: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up
TLDR
In the EU, the highest age-standardised incidence rates for oesophageal cancer are in the Netherlands for men and the UK for women, and variation between countries is high and may reflect different prevalence of risk factors, use of screening and diagnostic methods.About:

Short-Term Outcomes Following Minimally Invasive and Open Esophagectomy: A Population-Based Study from Finland and Sweden.
Joonas H. Kauppila,Joonas H. Kauppila,Olli Helminen,Ville Kytö,Ville Kytö,Jarmo Gunn,Jarmo Gunn,Jesper Lagergren,Jesper Lagergren,Eero Sihvo +9 more
TL;DR: This population-based study from Finland and Sweden revealed lower 90-day mortality, shorter hospital stay, and lower 30-day readmission rates after MIE compared with OE for esophageal cancer, which support the use of minimally invasive approaches.

Size and Importance of Socioeconomic Status-Based Disparities in Use of Surgery in Nonadvanced Stage Gastrointestinal Cancers
TL;DR: Low SES patients with poor prognosis GI cancers are at substantial risk of undertreatment because of disparities in use of surgery, and these disparities contribute to diminished survival.
