Vitamin D and health outcomes after liver surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether vitamin D levels affect recovery and health after liver cancer surgery. Participants will receive a high-dose vitamin D supplement before surgery to see if it helps improve outcomes and reduce healthcare disparities.
