Abstract | BACKGROUND/AIMS: METHODOLOGY: RESULTS: No significant differences in age, sex, TNM stage, and preoperative symptoms were evident between the two groups. Incidences of nausea and vomiting were similar preoperatively (Group I, 45.8%; Group II, 40.9%, P=0.736), but were significantly different at 3 months postoperatively (Group I, 25.0%; Group II, 68.2%, P=0.003). Preoperative serum protein and albumin levels were similar in the two groups (Group I: 6.6g/dL, 3.5g/dL; Group II: 6.4g/dL, 3.4g/dL, respectively, P-0.223, 0.472), but at 3 months postoperatively, serum protein and albumin levels were significantly different (Group I: 5.9g/dL, 3.1g/dL; Group II: 5.2g/dL, 2.6g/dL, respectively, P=0.010, 0.047).
