Scotland has one of the highest incidence of adenocarcinoma in Europe. Overall incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma is 6x higher that in the 1990s, with annual incidence now around 18/100,000 per population. Approximately 900 cases per annum.
Impact of COVID-19 on Gastroenterology has meant endoscopy procedures being paused due to aerosol generating procedure (AGP) concerns. Ongoing infection control requirements mean activity is significantly below pre-COVID levels.
