• HCC diagnosis in a single urban medical center study increased from 2009 as a result of HCV as a risk factor. • HCC declined post 2018 due primarily to a reduction in HCV infection as the risk factor. • African Americans were more likely to have HCV as the risk factor as compared to non-AA patients who were more likely to have no known risk factor on record (i.e., cryptogenic).
