Impact of national Human Development Index on liver cancer outcomes: Transition from 2008 to 2018

Figure 3 Distributions of liver cancer survival and its correlation with Human Development Index values and mortality-to-incidence ratio. A: Distribution of regional estimated 5-year net survival for patients with liver cancer in 2018, indicated in blue-gradient colors; B: Comparisons of worldwide liver cancer survival between 2008 and 2018. ^aP < 0.001, 2018 (sky blue) vs 2008 (dark blue); C: A positive correlation pattern between the survival of the patients diagnosed in 2010-2014 and the Human Development Index value in 2018 (r = 0.408, P = 0.0027); D: Correlation between national mortality-to-incidence ratio and liver cancer survival in 2018 (r = -0.346, P = 0.0278). HDI: Human Development Index; MIR: Mortality-to-incidence ratio.
