3550 Understanding Racial Disparities in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatments and Outcomes by Lauren Devore Nephew, Susan Rawl, Naga Chalasani

“…There was a trend toward larger tumor size (5.3 cm vs. 4.7 cm; P = 0.05) in black patients; however, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer staging and Milan criteria were similar. Black patients were less likely to undergo liver transplantation than white patients—a disparity that was not attenuated (odds ratio [OR], 0.43; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.21-0.90) on multivariable analysis. …”
