The incidence of CaE rises with age in both sexes, with a peak in the 70\u201374 year age group. There was a disproportionately higher number of CaE in the Tamil population (chi\u2010square test, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.00001). The commonest type of CaE in Sri Lanka was squamous cell carcinoma, Not otherwise specified (NOS) (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 750, 70.5%), followed by adenocarcinoma, NOS (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 83, 7.8%). India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have comparable age\u2010adjusted incidence and age distribution of CaE. All migrant populations had lower incidence of CaE than original population or population in their present country.
