The liver cancer has become the sixth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. The incidence of liver cancer has characteristics of the geographical distribution, which vary from region to region. Based on the data from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, this study analyzed the spatial distribution of liver cancer globally and explored the effect of meteorological factors of surface temperature and wind field on incidence of liver cancer, to find the geographical distribution characteristics of liver cancer and the impact of geographical environmental factors on the incidence of liver cancer, which will be of great significance to the epidemiological study of liver cancer and the prevention of liver cancer. The results show that the humid and hot oceanic climate may be conducive to the development of liver cancer. The environmental factors play an important role in the occurrence of liver cancer.
