A clinical study was conducted on individuals with advanced stage of Hepatocellular Carcinoma to test three lines of Treatments: T1, T2 and T3. Thirthy-six patients with stage III Hepatocellular Carcinoma who agreed to take part in the experiment were randomly allocated one of three line of Treatments T1, T2 and T3. The primary outcome was mortality, and patients were monitored for up to 60 months (5 years) after recruitment. The data (in months) so obtained are given as follows:
