In this study, we used the theoretical findings of the epidemiologic transition as a starting point to examine the 2020 values of the three main cancer indicators (incidence, mortality, prevalence). These values were compared with socioeconomic development variables for 170 countries. The countries were grouped using hierarchical clustering, and linear discriminant analysis was used to evaluate how appropriate the clustering was. Principal component analysis was used to examine, by group, which parameters are significant in each principal component and what background factors underlie the data. The results seem to confirm the association between cancer and socioeconomic background.}, type={Article}, title={Principal Component Analysis - Points of Association Between Cancer and Economic Development}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/127800/PDF-MASTER/mainFile.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cejeme.2023.146538}, keywords={standard of living, economic development, incidence, mortality, prevalence}, }
