Introduction Recent data suggest that using additional neuroaxial anaesthesia during
oncological surgery is associated with favourable recurrence-free survival, when compared …

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

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

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

Background and Objectives Prior studies suggest a possible association between the use of
neuraxial-general anesthesia and a decrease in prostate cancer recurrence after radical …

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 …

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 …

Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from a prospective institutional oncologic
database on 929 patients treated with RP by a single surgeon from 1999-2008. Spinal …

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

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