The mortality rate for children younger than age 5 years (under-5 mortality rate [U5MR]), childhood cancer incidence, and childhood all-cancer mortality by region. U5MR and cancer incidence show opposite linear trends: as U5MR decreases, cancer incidence increases (r2 = −0.617). Sources: World Bank Databank for U5MR10 and GLOBOCAN 201211 for age-specific (0 to 14 years old) cancer incidence and mortality.
