Abstract
The Authors investigated the usefulness of some biochemical markers of visceral protein synthesis (TSF, TBPA and RBP) in 24 patients affected with gynecological cancer and treated with Total Parenteral Nutrition in the perioperative period. The absence of an improving TSF and TBPA is related to increased morbidity and mortality.
