21.18; P Z 0.004), 6.98 (CI: 1.54-42.2; P Z 0.011), and 4.30 (CI:0.7926.8; P Z 0.090) respectively. The impact of recreational drug use during treatment on pelvic control, DFS and OS was hazards ratio 1.50 (CI:0.365.36; P Z 0.550), 1.44 (CI: 0.30-6.11; P Z 0.625), and 41.89 (CI:0.379.17; P Z 0.26) respectively. Conclusions: Our data suggests that heavy alcohol use and smoking both increase the risk of cancer recurrence and mortality in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Concerted efforts should be aimed at smoking cessation and preventing alcohol abuse to promote survival after definitive therapy in cervical cancer patients. Author Disclosure: J. Lim: None. B.
