    Patients with liver cancer often experience stress-induced hyperglycemia, which can lead to significant postoperative complications.

  • 4

    Impaired glucose metabolism due to liver dysfunction is associated with delayed wound healing and increased risk of recurrence after surgery.

  • 5

    The study aims to standardize clinical glycemic management for hepatocellular carcinoma patients by synthesizing fragmented evidence.
