Description
Summary:Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality with racial disparities in survival after its diagnosis. It has been suggested that racial disparities in survival reflect socioeconomic disparities. We aimed to determine associations between race, socioeconomic characteristics and survival in patients with HCC in Florida. Methods: We identified HCC cases diagnosed between 1/1/2004 - 12/31/2013 in the Florida Cancer Data System (FCDS). We linked FCDS to the 2010-2014 US Census American Community Survey by census tract and the 2013 Florida Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System by county to ascertain population-level characteristics. We performed univariate, bivariate and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to describe the association between race and survival. Results: Of 10,852 patients with HCC, 77.4% were men, 13.4% were Black, 67.1% non-Hispanic White, 15.7% Hispanic, 3.2% Asian and
