Features of hepatocellular carcinoma in Hispanics differ from African Americans and non-Hispanic Whites

Figure 1 Unadjusted survival curve stratified in patients with hepato-cellular carcinoma by race from time of presentation to time of death or censorship (with numbers of subject at risk). Hispanic (n = 44), African American (n = 61), Whites (n = 90). P-value was obtained by the log-rank test.

Figure 2 Overall survival curves by race after exclusion of patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (with numbers of subjects at risk). Hispanic (n = 34), African American (n = 55), Whites (n = 69). P-value was obtained with the use of the log-rank test.

Figure 3 Distribution of cause of death in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma by race. There was no difference in HCC (P = 0.1051), cirrhosis (P = 0.6162), or other (P = 0.0581) as cause of death between Hispanics, African Americans, and White. ¹Cause of death other includes: Immediate complications post liver transplant (n = 3), sepsis (n = 3), complications from second malignancy (n = 2), cardiogenic shock (n = 1), PEA (n = 1), intracerebral hemorrhage (n = 1). Of Hispanic patient (n = 4), immediate complications post liver transplant (n = 2), cardiogenic shock (n = 1), complications from a second malignancy (n = 1). Fischers pairwise comparison not performed due to n < 5 per group. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
