Abstract

The choice of analgesia after cancer surgery may play a role in the onset of cancer recurrence. Particularly opioids seem to promote cancer cell proliferation and migration. Based on this consideration, we assessed the impact of perioperative analgesia choice on cancer recurrence after curative surgery for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
