Socioeconomic factors predict survival after locoregional therapy for HCC in single-center study

Single-center study of 1,091 HCC patients treated with locoregional therapy: Asian race independently predicted better survival (HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.29-0.67), while female gender, lower education, and divorce were linked to higher mortality.

• Asian race independently predicted improved survival (HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.29-0.67, p<0.05).
• Female gender (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.03-1.55, p=0.028), lower education (high school vs college; HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.50, p=0.015), and divorce (HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.08-1.90, p=0.012) were independently associated with increased mortality.
