Fig. 1 |

Global variation exists in the incidence (part a) and mortality (part b) of primary liver cancer, with the highest burden seen in East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa where medical resources are often limited. Hepatocellular carcinoma accounts for 80–90% of primary liver cancer. Numbers are per 100,000 person-years.
