Project Summary Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fastest growing cause of cancer mortality in the United States. HCC is preventable, and it disproportionately affects migrants with unrecognized asymptomatic Chronic Viral Hepatitis (CVH). The long-term goal of this project is to reduce the occurrence of preventable liver cancer in migrant populations. The overall objective of this proposal is to estimate the Chronic Viral Hepatitis (CVH) and Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) prevalence among migrants, to detect key identifiers associated with high- burden groups, and to describe the comorbidities and outcomes of those groups. The purpose of achieving this goal is to reduce the occurrence of preventable liver cancer in migrant populations. This study will contribute to this through the generation of the epidemiological data required for patients, practitioners, and policymakers alike to more readily identify the migrant groups that would benefit most from strategic screening and surveillance. The central hypothesis is that HCC and CVH risk and outcomes among migrants can be estimated by demographics. This will be tested by pursuing two specific aims: 1) Establish prevalence of CVH and HCC among migrant populations; and 2) Identify CVH and HCC comorbidities and outcomes within the migrant population. Under the first aim, a proven CVH and HCC disease model will be paired with migrant population statistics to establish the risk profiles for distinct migrant populations, including age group and country-of-origin. Under the second aim, an existing retrospective, population-wide health dataset will be utilized to identify common concomitant disease and outcomes among distinct migrant populations. The proposed research is innovative because it focuses on identifying key characteristics unique to specific migrant populations and establishing the associated CVH and HCC risk profiles. If achieved, the results are expected to be significant because they will contribute to resolving the current knowledge gaps in the disease burden and disparities of distinct migrant populations, allowing for risk stratifying and appropriate modifications to impact screening policy and practice.

项目摘要 肝细胞癌（HCC）是美国癌症死亡率增长最快的原因。 HCC是 可预防的，并且不成比例地影响未识别无症状慢性病毒肝炎的移民 （CVH）。该项目的长期目标是减少移民中可预防的肝癌的发生 人群。该提议的总体目的是估计慢性病毒肝炎（CVH）和 移民的肝细胞癌（HCC）患病率，以检测与高位相关的关键标识符 负担群体，并描述这些群体的合并症和结果。实现这一目标的目的 目的是减少移民种群中可预防的肝癌的发生。这项研究将有助于 这是通过生成患者，从业者和决策者所需的流行病学数据 与更容易确定将受益于战略筛查和最大受益的移民群体 监视。 核心假设是，HCC和CVH的风险以及移民之间的结果可以通过 人口统计。这将通过追求两个具体目标来测试：1）确定CVH和HCC的患病率 在移民人群中； 2）确定移民中的CVH和HCC合并症和结果 人口。在第一个目标下，将与移民人口配对经过验证的CVH和HCC疾病模型 统计数据以建立不同的移民人群的风险概况，包括年龄段和原产国。 在第二个目标下，将利用现有的回顾性，范围内的健康数据集来识别 常见的伴随疾病和不同移民人群之间的结果。拟议的研究是 创新性，因为它重点是识别特定移民人群独有的关键特征和 建立相关的CVH和HCC风险概况。如果实现，结果预计将是重要的 因为它们将有助于解决疾病负担的当前知识差距和 不同的移民人群，可以进行风险分层和适当的修改以影响筛查 政策和实践。
