Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial. Investigators aimed to compare the effect of three different anesthetic adjuvants (continuous infusion of lidocaine or dexmedetomidine, intrathecal morphine injection) on the biomarker for cancer recurrence and metastasis. Patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery will be randomly allocated to three parallel arms and the biomarkers for cancer recurrence and metastasis, inflammation, and immune response will be compared. And we will compare the clinical outcomes in the three method.
