Propofol anesthesia vs sevoflurane for liver tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia—propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia versus sevoflurane inhaled anesthesia—during planned surgery to remove liver tumors. The goal is to see whether the anesthesia choice affects long-term outcomes after partial liver removal for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You are having planned (elective) partial liver surgery to remove hepatocellular carcinoma under general anesthesia.
- Your overall health is in ASA class I to III (generally means you have mild to moderate health issues).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a severe mental disorder and you can complete the required study information before surgery.
- You are not allergic to any anesthesia drugs used in the study and your surgery is not emergency or for a benign (non-cancer) liver tumor.

This study looks at whether using different anesthesia drugs during planned lung tumor surgery affects recovery and longer-term outcomes. It also aims to understand why the anesthesia choice might make a difference.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicine—propofol versus sevoflurane—during planned surgery to remove a solid tumor. It aims to find which option is safer and works better for children having curative tumor surgery.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
This trial tests two different anesthesia medicines during liver surgery to see which one keeps blood pressure more stable. If you are having a planned liver operation, this study could help improve how anesthesia is given.
