While liver cancer rates are decreasing or staying the same in other groups, they have been increasing in Hispanic/Latinos under the age of 50.
Genetics & Biology of Liver Tumorigenesis in Children
The overall goals of this Multi-Investigator Research Proposal is to further the understanding of the development and identify prognostic characteristics of liver tumors in children, particularly hepatoblastoma and its variants through a combined genomic and molecular pathology approach.
