Core Tip	This study is the first to explore the exact relationship between the epidemiology of gastrointestinal cancers and area-specific development disparities. We showed the association between the mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs) and the human development index at the regional and national levels using a modified "drug dose to inhibition response" model. Further prediction of the MIRs for individual United States states on the basis of best-fitted non-linear models showed little deviation from the actual MIRs in the United States.
