Background: Oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the predominant histopathological subtype of oesophageal cancer across the world, representing as many as 90% of all cases; however, within Western cohorts, it is a low-prevalence disease, and, as such, appropriately powered trials to establish a standard treatment paradigm in this population remain challenging. The aim of this study was to assess current practices and compare outcomes for patients with locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma across the UK and Ireland.

Methods: This was a retrospective multicentre cohort study of patients managed with curative intent for squamous cell carcinoma of the middle or distal oesophagus in 23 hospitals across the UK and Ireland.

Background: Our study represents the first effort in the Eastern Mediterranean Region to identify disparities in the quality of colorectal cancer (CRC) care in Iran.

Methods: We established a collaborative registry program for non-metastatic CRC patients to evaluate survival rates between teaching cancer centers (TCCs) and a high-volume, non-teaching, non-cancer center (NTNC). The study included a diverse patient population and considered various factors such as cancer stage, margin involvement, adherence to guidelines for adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatments, emergency surgeries, socioeconomic status, and risk of surgery.
