1 CANCER FACT SHEETS: LIVER CANCER Estimated age-standardised rates (World) in the world (per ) At a glance China WHO Western Pacific Region Less developed regions World WHO African Region United States of America WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region More developed regions IARC Member State (24 countries) European Union (EU-28) Males Females Incidence Mortality Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer in men and the ninth most common cancer in women, and it is largely a problem of the less developed regions. In 2012, worldwide, there are estimated to have been new cases, with 83% of these cases occurring in less developed regions (50% in China alone). Of this total number of incident cases, occurred in men (accounting for 7.5% of all incident cancer cases in men) and occurred in women (accounting for 3.4% of all incident cancer cases in women). In men, the highest estimated 2012 age-standardized incidence rates (per population) are in eastern and south-eastern Asia (with 31.9 and 22.2 cases, respectively). Intermediate rates are estimated in southern Europe (9.5 cases) and North America (9.3 cases), and the lowest estimated rates are in northern Europe (4.6 cases) and south-central Asia (3.7 cases). In women, the incidence is generally much lower, with the highest estimated 2012 rates in eastern Asia and western Africa (10.2 and 8.1 cases, respectively) and the lowest in northern Europe (1.9 cases) and Micronesia (1.6 cases). WHO Region of the Americas WHO South-East Asia Region WHO European Region India Liver cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer worldwide, estimated to have been responsible for nearly deaths in 2012 (9.1% of all cancer deaths that year). The prognosis for liver cancer is very poor (with an overall ratio of mortality to incidence of 0.95), so the geographical patterns in incidence and mortality are very similar.
