  1. Values are percentage of post-operative to the pre-operative (mean ± SD)
  2. Changes in serum albumin ratios showed that the DFT group has better tendency in serum albumin ratios. Hemoglobin ratios, and lymphocyte count ratios were not significantly different among the groups
  3. *Statistically significant
