| Core Tip |
In this retrospective study of the United States Cancer Statistics database (which covers ~98% of the US population), we analyzed sex and age-specific Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) incidence across different US regions between 2001-2020. HCC incidence rates were significantly increasing in the West, Midwest, Northeast, and South of the US, most notably in the South. While younger men experienced decreasing HCC incidence, younger women had non-decreasing incidence, and this was noted across all regions. While this can be due to regional disparities in healthcare access/utilization, future research is needed to investigate regional HCC risk factors, especially in younger adults. |
