Experts in chronic hepatitis B within Asian communities discuss prevention, screening and management options to reduce the number of new cases and the risk of progression to cirrhosis, hepatic failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Experts also will consider the integration of Western and Eastern Medicine approaches to treatment and how cultural perceptions and community stigmatization of persons of Asian descent with chronic HBV infection can create barriers to diagnosis and care.
