Socioeconomic status and risk of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and cancer of the gastric cardia in Scotland.
The incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma and gastric cardia cancer increased strikingly in Scotland between 1977 and 1996. In contrast to other cancers of the oesophagus and stomach, which showed a clear relationship with socioeconomic status, no trend was evident for oesophageal adenocarcinoma or gastric cardia cancer during 1987-1996.
