Surgery remains a main part of the treatment of most solid tumors. Paradoxically, rapid
disease progression may be a consequence of surgery in patients presenting with a
dysregulated inflammatory response, and increased angiogenesis consequent to a
suppressed antitumoral immune response. Physicians taking care of cancer patients should
be aware of the important findings that indicate that analgesic techniques could play a role
in these phenomena.
Abstract
Surgery remains a main part of the treatment of most solid tumors. Paradoxically, rapid disease progression may be a consequence of surgery in patients presenting with a dysregulated inflammatory response, and increased angiogenesis consequent to a suppressed antitumoral immune response. Physicians taking care of cancer patients should be aware of the important findings that indicate that analgesic techniques could play a role in these phenomena.
