Cases of esophageal cancer (adenocarcinoma) in the US have risen in recent decades from 300,000 cases in 1973 to 2.1 million in 2001 at age-adjusted rates. A new study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology shows that these rates in the US closely mirrored trends of increased carbohydrate intake and obesity from 1973-2001.
