Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) exhibits differences in incidence and survival patterns among races. Here, analysis of Chinese and TCGA ESCC patients reveals that Asian patients exhibit higher TP53, EP300 and NFE2L2 mutational frequencies, and mutated CSMD3 associates with better prognosis.
