Abstract

Abstract: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have an increased risk of developing liver cancer and higher risk of death compared to non-Hispanic White individuals. The role of individual-level risk factors, social determinants of health, and barriers navigating health systems present unique challenges in obtaining liver cancer care for these patients. Additionally, the Asian American and Pacific Islander population is a heterogenous group originating from several different countries and speaking various languages, and they are often underrepresented in cancer clinical trial populations. This article describes the challenges faced by Asian American and Pacific Islander patients with liver cancer from the clinician, research, and patient advocacy perspectives and proposes targeted solutions to reduce healthcare disparities in this group.

肝癌为何 "如影随形":消除亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民社区的医疗差距
摘要:与非西班牙裔白人相比,亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民罹患肝癌的风险更高,死亡风险也更高。个人层面的风险因素、健康的社会决定因素以及在医疗系统中遇到的障碍,为这些患者获得肝癌治疗带来了独特的挑战。此外,亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民是一个异质群体,他们来自多个不同的国家,讲各种语言,在癌症临床试验人群中的代表性往往不足。本文从临床医生、研究和患者权益保护的角度阐述了亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民肝癌患者所面临的挑战,并提出了有针对性的解决方案,以减少这一群体在医疗保健方面的差异:亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民、健康公平、肝细胞癌、癌症护理
