Influence of Opioids on Circulating Tumor Cells in Radical Cystectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Multiple lines of evidence have shown that perioperative opioids requirement was associated with poor outcomes in cancer patients, including increased cancer progression and metastases and reduced survival in patients with lung, breast, prostate, and bladder cancer. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been validated as prognostic biomarkers of a number of cancers. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of perioperative opioids on the number of CTCs in patients receiving robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy. The difference of the amounts of perioperative opioids is achieved by using general anesthesia combined with intravenous opioid-based analgesia intra- and post-operatively in one group and general analgesia combined with epidural ropivacaine-based analgesia in the other group.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the number of circulating tumor cells [on the 3rd day after surgery]
The number of circulating tumor cells will be measured by collecting 5ml of venous blood sample.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- the number of circulating tumor cells [immediately after the surgery]
The number of circulating tumor cells will be measured by collecting 5ml of venous blood sample.
- the number of circulating tumor cells [on the 30 day after surgery]
The number of circulating tumor cells will be measured by collecting 5ml of venous blood sample.
- Visual Analogue Scale [at 24 hours after surgery]
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale, which ranges from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating greater pain intensity at 24 hours after surgery.
- Visual Analogue Scale [at 48 hours after surgery]
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale, which ranges from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating greater pain intensity at 48 hours after surgery.
