Factors operating at the community level may help explain disparities in rates of HCC across Texas.
HCC is the most common type of liver cancer in the United States, and Texas has the highest rate of HCC. Yet, within Texas, incidence rates vary by race, ethnicity, and geographic location.
The researchers used demographics, socioeconomic status, and employment provided by the US Census Bureau to characterize the neighborhoods where these people lived when they were diagnosed with HCC. Two areas of employment — construction and service occupations — also stood out as being associated with a higher risk for HCC, whereas employment in agriculture was associated with lower risk.
