Disparities in liver transplantation for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma
Hispanic patients are less likely to undergo LT for MASH-HCC, concerning given their susceptibility to MASH and HCC. There were very few NH Black candidates. Disparities were also unequal across regions, which is particularly concerning in states where at-risk populations have rising cancer incidence. Additional research is needed to identify strategies for mitigating these differences in access to LT for MASH-HCC.
