Summary

Liver cancer in adult men is the fifth most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide, and is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. To date, liver surgery is the treatment of choice for those patients with resectable disease. However, still today the proportion of resectable patients is limited due to a large proportion of patients presenting with advances disease. For these patients, the treatment consists of systemic chemotherapy, which unfortunately is associated with median survival of 12 months. The choice of the appropriate treatment scheme adheres to the standard guidelines based on the results of clinical trials. Of note, in case of HCC and MFCCC very few international approved therapeutic guidelines are available. In particular, there is no agreement among specialists about the use of chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment after hepatic resection for HCC or MFCCC. An important aspect of the postoperative "adjuvant therapy" is the possibility to enhance the recovery after the operation. Indeed, the possibility to accelerate the functional recovery in a patient who receives a major cancer operation is of paramount importance. In this sense, having a product that might help the patients' recovery should be one of the priorities of the medical and pharmaceutical industry. To our knowledge, there are no previous studies that investigated such an important aspect.
