Liver cancer is a significant contributor to the world's cancer burden. In order to comprehend the variations in its regional, age, gender, and histological subtype distributions as well as its temporal trend, this paper analyzes the worldwide statistical data of liver cancer, including the incidence, mortality, and survival. The findings indicated that the stages of liver cancer control and prevention are heterogeneous among countries and regions. The successful experience of liver cancer control and prevention in some countries should be promoted and disseminated. According to the various national conditions, comprehensive intervention measures, including reducing aflatoxin exposure, promoting vaccination, improving the treatment of chronic hepatitis infection, and implementing early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer, should be developed.
