Presented by The Center for Asian Health Research and Education in partnership with Stanford Health Library

Chronic liver disease and liver cancer are surging in the United States, but no group is more affected than Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). Though only 6% of the U.S. population, people of Asian descent account for 60% of liver cancer cases in the nation. 

Mindie Nguyen, MD, will discuss the latest research and clinical trials that highlight the unique risk factors and disease patterns observed in Asian Americans. She will talk about the early signs of liver disease, importance of regular screenings, and latest advancements in treatment options.
