^†

Cases per 100,000 per year

Incidence rates were adjusted for age with direct standardization using U.S. Census 2000 data regarding the Ohio population. Total number of cases for each histology is greater than the sum of cases in African-Americans and whites due to small numbers of cases in patients of other or unknown race.

NA, not applicable due to small numbers of cases.

95% CI, 95% confidence interval.

ESCC, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

EAC, esophageal adenocarcinoma.
