Background: Among the proposals for joint disease mapping, shared component model has become more popular. Another advance to strengthen inference of data is extension purely spatial models include time aspect. We aim combine idea multivariate components with spatio-temporal modelling in a mapping and apply it incidence rates seven prevalent cancers Iran which together account approximately 50% all cancers. Methods: In proposed model, each by different subsets diseases, temporal trends are...
