What the document says“esophageal cancer has low survival rates because it is usually discovered at advanced stages when treatment outcomes are poor”
The sixth of the section's eleven findings, and the one that supplies a reason for the survival figure in the fourth. Congress attributes the low survival rate to late discovery, when treatment outcomes are poor.
What the document actually says“esophageal cancer has low survival rates because it is usually discovered at advanced stages when treatment outcomes are poor”

The other findings say the same in a different way. Finding it early is what changes the outcome.
