The overall survival time in 82 HCC patients (40 none-drinkers and 42 alcohol drinkers) during the period of 2006–2009 was analyzed and presented with Kaplan-Meier curves. Mean survival time was 27.4 months for non-drinkers and 47.8 months for drinkers, respectively. Alcohol consumption significantly shorted life span of patients (P = 0.021). The number of patients at risk was listed below the survival curves.Back to article page
