Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The Role of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Deprivation

Mariana Lazo et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. .

Abstract

The prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and reduction of its disparities necessitates research on the role of contextual social determinants of health. Empirical evidence on the role of contextual factors (e.g., neighborhood built and social environment) in these disparities is extremely limited. Oluyomi and colleagues conducted a Texas-wide study examining the contribution of neighborhood-level socioeconomic deprivation, proxied by the area deprivation index on HCC disparities. Future studies are needed to complement and extend these findings. See related article by Oluyomi et al., p. 1402.
