Income Gap Impacts Liver Cancer Survival

Did you know your income could affect your chances of surviving liver cancer? A Swedish study found people with lower household incomes are way more likely to die from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than those with higher incomes. Turns out, lower-income patients are less likely to get diagnosed early or receive life-saving treatments. Researchers are now pushing for targeted screening in poorer areas to catch liver issues sooner. Healthcare inequality is real, and it’s literally a matter of life or death! #HealthInequality #LiverCancer #HealthcareAccess #MedicalResearch #Health
