Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Regional anesthesia and local anesthetics have proven anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects as well as their analgesic properties. On this trial, the investigators are searching anesthetic techniques affect on the leukocyte, platelet-lymphocyte count and ratios, total amount of opioids used, and discharge times in patients who will undergo wire localized lumpectomy operation.
