This study is looking at how social factors, like transportation issues, childcare needs, job status, and education, affect people with hepatobiliary cancers (cancers of the liver, bile ducts, or gallbladder). Researchers want to understand these barriers, especially among Southeast Asian Americans, and also look at risks like aflatoxin and viral hepatitis exposure. You can join if you are 18 or older and have been diagnosed with hepatobiliary cancer. The study aims to find out what percentage of patients report transportation problems that impact their medical care, with this information collected over up to two years. This is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are being tested; instead, researchers are gathering information from participants.
