Abstract

Darshini Arpi

Esophageal cancer (EC) is a malignancy that affects a large percentage of people; at the time of diagnosis, 50% of cases already had distant metastases, and most patients are male. This study evaluated the clinicopathological characteristics and metastatic patterns of male (MEC) and female (FEC) EC (FEC). Additionally, risk factors related to the prognosis for MEC were looked at. The database for Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results served as the study's population. To evaluate MEC characteristics and variables associated with prognosis, the descriptive analysis, Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression model were applied.
