Chronic liver disease and liver cancer are surging in the United States, but no group is more affected than Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). Though they make up only 6% of the U.S. population, people of Asian descent account for 60% of liver cancer cases in the nation. Please join us on Tuesday, October 8th, 2024 at 7:00PM with Dr. Mindie H. Nguyen, a Stanford CARE faculty member, to gain insights into liver disease.

One of the joys of my first few days as Chair of the Stanford Department of Medicine is learning about the amazing work of our faculty, staff, and trainees. A great example is The Doctor's Art, a podcast jointly hosted by oncologist tyler johnson and ophthalmologist Henry Bair. I have spent many hours listening to their relaxed and fascinating conversations with a wide variety of doctors. I love the mix of humanism in medicine and cutting edge science they explore with their guests. Recently, they were kind enough to have me on the show. True to form, they asked me several questions I have never been asked before on topics as diverse as artificial life support systems, heart transplantation, and the place of AI in medicine. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. https://lnkd.in/gNeNHyYR
