The long‐term survival of esophageal cancer in elderly patients: A multi‐center, retrospective study from China

Esophageal cancer (EC) often occurs in the elderly, and approximately 40% of patients are 70 years or older. To investigate the long‐term survival of EC in elderly patients, to provide a theoretical direction for better management and predicting survival of EC based on the hospital‐based multi‐center study in China.
