The investigators will analyze if the tumor mobilization increases circulating DNA rate in peripheral and portal blood. Moreover, circulating tumor DNA will be measured during 12 months after surgery in peripheral blood. They will use a gene mutation detection technique called Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) which is more specific than a simple Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
