Incidence trends for mesothelioma and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. a Age-adjusted incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma in England by year of diagnosis (Modified from7: British Journal of Cancer 118, 1391–1398 (2018)). b European age-standardised mortality rates for mesothelioma in Great Britain by year (Data from Cancer Research UK Cancer Statistics59).
