Effects of Epidural Anesthesia-analgesia on Long-term Survival in Patients After Lung Cancer Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating General anesthesia alone and Combined epidural-general anesthesia for Lung Cancer and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 400 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Available studies suggest that regional anesthesia-analgesia may decrease the occurrence of recurrence/metastasis in patients after cancer surgery. However, evidences from prospective studies are still lacking. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of epidural anesthesia-analgesia on recurrence-free survival in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
