The overall burden and breakdown of the estimated population-level economic burden of liver cancer in China, 2019–2030. Demographic change scenario: only considered the demographic changes. Base case scenario: simultaneously considered the changes in demography and the increasing disease burden of liver cancer in China (based on the GBD 2019 data on incidence, mortality and prevalence 2009–2019). SDG 2030: one of the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations, which is, by 2030, to reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being; the sub-scenario (a) considered the demographic changes and the reduction in liver cancer mortality; the sub-scenario (b) furtherly considered the reductions in incidence and prevalence of liver cancer. Healthy China 2030 scenario: by 2030, to achieve a 15% increase in 5-year survival rate for cancer
