Comparing three anesthesia types for colorectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares three types of anesthesia during colorectal cancer surgery to see how they affect the body's immune response and cancer cells. It may help find the safest and most effective anesthesia option for people having this operation for the first time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old

- You do not have serious heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease
- You have not had radiation or chemotherapy in the last 8 weeks
- You are not addicted to opioids and have no allergies to the anesthetic drugs or epidural

This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic colon surgery: one uses a morphine injection near the spinal cord, the other uses an epidural catheter for ongoing pain relief. The goal is to find which approach works better with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for older adults having major planned surgeries. One type avoids using opioid painkillers (which can cause side effects), and the other includes them. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids helps you feel better and recover more comfortably after your operation.
This study tests whether a drug called lidocaine, given during surgery, can help control pain after colon or rectal surgery and possibly improve long-term survival in older adults. The goal is to see if lidocaine offers better pain relief and recovery compared to standard care.
This study tests a special anesthesia approach during laparoscopic colon cancer surgery. It may help improve your recovery and reduce side effects.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during lung surgery to see which one reduces nausea and vomiting after the operation. One type avoids common painkillers (opioids), and the other uses them, so you may have less sickness after surgery.
This study tests whether an opioid-free pain/anesthesia plan during elective lung surgery can reduce surgical “stress” on the body and affect the immune system. You may be eligible if you have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for a specific type of surgery (VATS lobectomy).
