Colorectal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Anesthetic method was reported to have an impact on postoperative long-term outcome in cancer patients. In this study, we will investigate the effect of different anesthetic methods on NK cell activity, cytokine response and postoperative outcome in colorectal cancer patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC. We will compare propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with balanced anesthesia to determine the effect of propofol, inhalation agent, and opioid on tumor genesis, recurrence, NK cell activity, cytokine response, and postoperative outcome.
Interventions
Patients will be assigned to one of the groups, TIVA group or Balanced anesthesia group. In TIVA group, anesthesia will be maintained by propofol and remifentanil infusion under target controlled infusion. In contrast, anesthesia will be maintained by sevoflurane and remifentanil infusion in the balanced anesthesia group.
