Does anesthesia choice impact liver cancer recurrence?
NCT ID NCT07207304
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 153 people having liver cancer surgery to see if the type of anesthesia they received affected their recovery and immune response. Researchers compared different anesthesia methods and measured blood markers related to inflammation and immune cell activity. Participants were followed for one year to track cancer recurrence and survival. The goal was to gather knowledge, not to test a new treatment.
