  3. Asian Americans face liver cancer disparity

    Asian Americans are known to have disproportionate numbers of liver cancers because of the high incidence of hepatitis B in that population, but new data indicate that Laotian Americans and Hmong Americans have even higher numbers and are more than twice as likely as other Asian Americans to die of it. Moreover, the disease tends to be diagnosed in those two groups at a late stage when it has already spread and they are less likely to receive treatment, UC Davis researchers reported Thursday. Only 3% of Laotian and Hmong Americans with liver cancer undergo surgery or liver transplantation, compared with 22% of other Asians, the researchers reported in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Prevention and Biomarkers.
