Abstract: Objective To analyze the incidence and mortality data of liver cancer in Fujian registration areas in 2017, and to provide scientific basis for the formulation and evaluation of liver cancer prevention and treatment strategies. Methods According to the data review and evaluation method developed by National Central Cancer Registry, the 2017 data reported by 12 cancer registries in Fujian Province were evaluated, among which the data from 10 registries that met the requirements were merged and analyzed. Stratified by areas (urban/rural), gender and age groups, the crude incidence and mortality, standardized rate and cumulative rate (0-74 years) were calculated. The age-standardized rate by Chinese standard population (ASR China)was calculated according to the Chinese standard population in 2000 and the age-standardized rate by world standard population (ASR world) was calculated according to the Segi's population. Results The 10 cancer registries in Fujian Province in 2017 covered a total of 6, 588, 959 registered population, of which urban and rural areas accounted for 43.89% and 56.11%, respectively. In 2017, the incidence of liver cancer in Fujian cancer registration areas was 31.14/105 (male: 48.02/105, female: 13.70/105), with ASR China of 22.51/105 and ASR world of 21.70/105.  The incidence rate in rural areas (ASR China: 23.87/105, ASR world: 22.90/105) was higher than that in urban areas (ASR China: 20.81/105, ASR world: 20.16/105). In 2017, the mortality rate of liver cancer in Fujian cancer registration areas  was 28.09/105 (male: 43.78/105, female: 11.88/105), with ASR China of 20.04/105 and ASR world of 19.45/105. The mortality rate in rural areas (ASR China: 20.91/105, ASR world: 20.18/105) was higher than that in urban areas (ASR China: 18.99/105, ASR world: 18.56/105). Conclusions The prevalence of liver cancer in Fujian Province shows differences in region and gender, and the targeted prevention and control should be carried out from the aspects of primary and secondary preventions.【
