Popis: Background and objective Different surgical methods, anesthesia, and analgesia are known to modify the surgical stress response, especially in patients with malignancy. We compared the impact of patient-controlled intravenous (PCA) versus epidural analgesia (EDA) on tumor-related mucosal immune response in patients undergoing open or laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. Methods In a University Hospital subgroup (n = 43) of a larger cohort (n = 235) of patients undergoing open or laparoscopic surgery for colorectal carcinoma randomized to PCA or EDA, colorectal tissues were stained for interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and mast cell tryptase and then examined by immunofluorescence microscopy. Results More IL-10+-cells were found in patients undergoing open compared to laparoscopic surgery in the PCA (P Conclusions The surgical method, rather than type of analgesia, may have higher impact on peri-operative inflammation. Laparoscopic surgery when combined with EDA for colorectal cancer caused a decrease in the TNF and IL-10 expression and mast cells. EDA seems to have an anti-inflammatory effect on cancer-related inflammation during open surgery.
