Early cancer detection or prevention

Sociocultural Determinants of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Prevention Behaviors Among Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic Adults in the United States.

Prevention is critical to reduce hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) burden, however, sociocultural influences on engagement in HCC preventive behaviors among populations at elevated risk are rarely examined together. Higher education attainment was associated with healthy weight (aOR 1;56; 95%CI 1;38-1;77).
