The control group will receive usual perioperative care including patient education on diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of skin cancer, encouragement of food and fluid intake prior to and during the surgery as needed, and acetaminophen per patient request.

The intervention group, in addition to usual care, will receive Acetaminophen 1000mg and commercially available carbohydrate drink (two pouches of Gatorade Prime Sports Fuel drink containing 50gm carbohydrate in approximately 250ml fluid total) at the beginning of the surgery.

Patients will undergo an MRI for assessment of the fat content of the liver. Then during surgery, their livers will be illuminated (for a few seconds) by Raman spectroscope (the device in question) to see if MRI findings correlate well with Raman spectroscopy findings.

Phase III, Single-Center, Open Label, Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of PectaSol-C Modified Citrus Pectin on PSA Kinetics in Prostate Cancer in the Setting of Serial Increases in PSA

PSA doubling time increase will be used to show effectiveness of the Modified Citrus pectin (MCP).

Patient tolerability of MCP will be assessed by comparing the results of weekly self-assessment diaries with baseline assessments.

At baseline (0 month), and end of study (6 month): Blood draw for serum levels of galectin-3, C-reactive protein, and lipid panel.
