Monica Cruz-Lemini, MD, PhD, from the National Autonomous University of Mexico discussed the results of research done on this topic during the Internatiional Liver Congress (EASL 2016) in Barcelona, Spain. Cruz-Lemini said that while the study looked at larger geographic areas a further study showed the need to look more locally in order to find where this is a greater need to address for that particular population.
