Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The safety and efficacy of ω-3 fatty acid in patients with liver cancer followed hepatectomy is not known. This study provided evidences that ω-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition improved postoperative recovery for cirrhotic patients with liver cancer underwent hepatectomy..

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A new lipid emulsion enriched ω-3 fatty acid was manufactured, and was reported avoid hyperinflammatory situations in patients followed major surgery. However, the role of ω-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition for postoperative patients with cirrhosis-related liver cancer is unclear. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ω-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition for cirrhotic patients with liver cancer followed hepatectomy.

A prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted for cirrhotic patients with liver cancer underwent hepatectomy between March 2010 and September 2013 in the investigators institution. For postoperative parenteral nutrition, 20% Structolipid and 10% Omegaven were applied to the trial group, while only Structolipid to the control group for 5 consecutive days postoperatively.

Structolipid

Intervention Type DRUG

Glucose, lipid emulsion, amino acids, fat-and water-soluble vitamins as well as electrolytes were compounded in an "All-In-One" manner. 20% Structolipid and 10% Omegaven (ω-3 FA mainly; Fresenius-Kabi, Germany) were applied to the trial group, but only Structolipid (ω-6 FA mainly) to the control group for 5 consecutive days postoperatively.
