In 2012, worldwide, there are estimated to have been 782 000 new cases, with 83% of these cases occurring in less developed regions (50% in China alone). Of this total number of incident cases, 554 000 occurred in men (accounting for 7.5% of all incident cancer cases in men) and 228 000 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 100 000 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). Liver cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer worldwide, estimated to have been responsible for nearly 746 000 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.
