Opioids and premature biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer: a randomised prospective clinical trial.
Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent neoplasms in male patients, and surgery is the main treatment. Opioids can have immune modulating effects, but their relation to cancer recurrence is unclear. We evaluated whether opioids used during prostatectomy can affect biochemical recurrence-free survival.
