Liver Cancer Etiology in Asian Subgroups and American Indian, Black, Latino, and White Populations
This retrospective cohort study found that etiology of HCC was associated with detailed racial and ethnic groups, with notable variation across disaggregated Asian groups. Rates of MASLD-related and ALD-related HCC were increasing, posing new challenges for prevention. American Indian, Asian and Pacific Islander, and Latino populations were disproportionately affected by HCC, beyond viral causes. Targeted public health interventions addressing alcohol, viral, and metabolic risk factors are needed.
