title: [Alcohol, tobacco and food consumption in liver cancer and cirrhosis. Preliminary results].
abstract: In German the consumption of food among cirrhotic patients, whether male or female and among male patients with primary liver cancer (PLC), is virtually the same as in normals. Alcohol consumption is very high in all three groups. The heaviest drinkers are the cirrhotic males, but the highest patient/control ratio is found among cirrhotic females (X 5.4). Total alcohol ingestion during life appears to be higher in patients with PLC plus cirrhosis than in those with PLC without cirrhosis. Tobacco consumption by male cirrhotic and PLC patients is the same as in controls. Conversely, cirrhotic females smoke seven times as much as their standardized controls.
