What is it about?
This is the first study to examine how socioeconomic differences in the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), including health, education, and income, affect oral cancer (OC) burden as measured by ASIR, ASMR, and MIR in South Asia and South East Asia regions.

Why is it important?
The current analysis supports the impact of social disparities, specifically IHDI and related indices, on the oral cancer burden in terms of mortality and MIR. In contrast, OC incidence and mortality were affected by area and gender.
Perspectives
Writing the article was challenging since it necessitated a thorough examination of all relevant factors or systems in order to explain the findings. Hopefully, this study will contribute to a better understanding of the function of unequal human development in oral cancer as well as provide useful information for formulating policies and prioritizing prevention and treatment strategies.
