Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how nativity, neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES), and ethnic enclave residency affect survival rates in Hispanic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- Among nearly 10,000 Hispanic patients analyzed, foreign-born individuals exhibited lower mortality rates despite having less favorable disease presentations and treatment access.
- The results indicate that while higher nSES is linked to improved survival, enclave residency alone does not significantly impact outcomes, suggesting a need for further research into the complex interplay of ethnicity, nativity, and neighborhood conditions.
