A randomized study to evaluate whether there is a difference in survival between two different forms of anaesthesia. The study will evaluate patients that are scheduled for a surgery for either breast-, colon- or rectalcancer.

A Randomized, Open-label Study to compare Propofol Anaesthesia with Sevoflurane Anaesthesia in terms of Overall Survival in Patients with Surgical Intervention for either Breast-, Colon- or Rectalcancer

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. The surgery that is going to be made is an acute surgical procedure 2. The surgery that is going to be made is palliative surgery 3.

Lack of suitability for participation in the trial, for any reason, as judged by the Investigator (e.g. communicative disturbances (language or intellectual))

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate whether the one- and five-year survival after radical breast-, or colorectal cancer surgery in general anaesthesia is significantly higher in patients given the intravenously administered hypnotic propofol than in patients given the inhalational hypnotic sevoflurane.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint will be a comparison of overall survival using time to event (i.e. death) analysis. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: One year and five year after radical surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Not applicable;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Not applicable
