Figure Legend:
Estimated incidence of EAC in men and women with weekly GERD symptoms as a function of age, compared with other types of cancer, including BrCa in women and men and CRC in men and women. The green horizontal line represents incidence of CRC in women aged 50 years (an age at which endoscopic screening procedures are endorsed by many organizations) as a benchmark comparison. Note that the incidences of EAC in women with GERD and BrCa in men overlap (from reference 29). BrCa = breast cancer; CRC = colorectal cancer; EAC = esophageal adenocarcinoma; GERD = gastroesophageal reflux disease.
