Summary

This study looks at why some people are diagnosed with liver cancer at a late stage, when treatment is harder. Researchers will survey 730 patients in Los Angeles about social and economic challenges like transportation, food, and housing. They will also interview doctors and community leaders to understand the full picture. The goal is to find ways to help more people get diagnosed early.
