| Core Tip |
The Hispanic population represents a major contributor to the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) burden. However, our current study demonstrates that over 60% of Hispanic HCC patients were ineligible for liver transplantation given the extent of disease severity. This advanced cancer stage at diagnosis likely reflects suboptimal implementation of early and timely HCC screening and surveillance in high-risk populations. These findings emphasize the need to be more vigilant about HCC screening and surveillance, especially among the Hispanic population. |
