- The results indicated that survival rates were significantly lower for more treatable cancers in certain provinces, with the highest mortality excess hazard seen in Western Azerbaijan, Kermanshah, and Kerman compared to Tehran.
- Additionally, the findings revealed a correlation between higher Human Development Index (HDI) and better cancer survival rates, highlighting regional inequalities in healthcare access and outcomes in Iran.
