Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the main indications for liver transplantation in the United States. Studies have shown racial disparities in rates of liver transplant for HCC. The underlying etiologies of these disparities are important to understand in order to overcome barriers to liver transplant in disadvantaged racial and ethnic groups.
