Summary

This study tests whether a special nutritional drink taken for 7 days before liver surgery can improve recovery in 100 liver cancer patients. The drink contains ingredients like arginine and omega-3s that may support the immune system. Researchers will measure nutritional status, complications, and hospital stay length.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Immunonutrition powder (PENTASURE IMMUNOMAX) containing arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, and nucleotides
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that a simple nutritional drink before surgery helps liver cancer patients recover faster and have fewer complications.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase trial (100 participants) testing a dietary supplement, not a drug. The benefit may be modest or not statistically significant, and results may not apply to all patients.
