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.
