Purpose: Individuals who experience complex biomedical factors and poorer social determinants of health (SDoH) have worse cancer outcomes than other people with cancer. This study appraised the clinical utility of the Nursing Equity Assessment Tool (NEAT), designed to facilitate early and systematic identification of such factors to optimise timely referral for support.
Methods: A prospective, mixed-methods case-series study was conducted at a specialist cancer centre.

- The study investigates the prevalence and severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among adults with HIV, focusing on differences between transgender women (TW), cisgender women (CW), and cisgender men (CM).
- The research involved screening participants for NAFLD and measuring associated factors, with results showing that TW had the highest liver fat scores and greater insulin resistance compared to the other groups.
- The findings suggest that while TW on gender-affirming hormone therapy had lower liver fat levels than those not on therapy, overall NAFLD severity in TW was unexpectedly higher than in CM and CW, indicating a need for further research on hormone impacts on liver health.
Objective: To investigate the factors that may account for the delay in diagnosis and treatment in Fijian female breast cancer patients.
