Immediately Preoperative use of Biological Therapy Does not Influence Liver Regeneration after Large Resection - Porcine Experimental Model with Monoclonal Antibody against Epidermal Growth Factor

Abstract

The achieved resulsts of comparable liver regeneration in both the experimental and control groups confirms the use of biological treatment with cetuximab in the pre-operative period for minimizing the recovery period.
