Arm 2
No Intervention
Active Comparator
Standard care
Mobile health
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with insulin resistance who underwent hepatic resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) will be enrolled. Patients included in the control arm will receive a booklet including information about physical activity recommendations and practice (education). After 12 weeks, they will also be provided mobile application and wearable device and perform exercise for 12 weeks.
HCC patients with insulin resistance who underwent hepatic resection or RFA will be enrolled. Patients included in the intervention arm will receive both booklet and mobile health program. They will perform exercise daily with mobile application and wearable device (warm-up, stretching, aerobic, and strengthening) for 24 weeks.
