Background Recently published studies suggest that the anesthetic technique used during
oncologic surgery affects cancer recurrence. To evaluate the effect of anesthetic technique …

Background Regional anesthesia and analgesia attenuate or prevent perioperative factors
that favor minimal residual disease after removal of the primary carcinoma. Therefore, the …

Background A beneficial effect of regional anesthesia on cancer related outcome in various
solid tumors has been proposed. The data on prostate cancer is conflicting and reports on …

BACKGROUND: The use of regional anesthesia for cancer surgery has been associated
with improved oncologic outcomes. One of the proposed mechanisms is a reduction in the …

Conclusion No difference was observed between the epidural and control groups in disease-
free survival at a median follow-up time of 4.5 years. There is a need for large randomized …

Background The potential impact of intraoperative analgesics on oncological outcome after
radical prostatectomy is debated. Some investigators have suggested that use of opioids …

Background Systemic opioids are immunosuppressive, which could promote tumour
recurrence. We, therefore, test the hypothesis that supplementing general anaesthesia with …

Aims: To determine whether the use neuraxial anesthesia/analgesia is associated with
longer biochemical recurrence-free survival (BRFS) and overall survival (OS) after radical …

Objective Animals underwent combined general-epidural anesthesia (EGA) is reported to
have better long-time outcome than general anesthesia (GA). This study aimed to make …

Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment for potentially curable solid tumours.
Metastatic disease is the most important cause of cancer-related death in these patients. The …
