Trends and Disparities in Liver Cancer Incidence by Demographic Factors in the United States (1999-2020)
This study shows state-wise variations in liver cancer incidence; however, crude rates per 100,000 remain relatively consistent across states. Over 22 years, liver cancer rates have increased, with the highest incidence found in men, White individuals, and those aged 65-74. Incidence increased for individuals over 45, but by the end of two decades, rates for ages 45-54 decreased while remaining high for ages ≥55. A more prominent upward trajectory was observed in men compared to women and in Whites compared to other races, underscoring the need for targeted prevention and control strategies.
