Bedre immunfunktion efter laparoskopisk end efter åben kolorektal cancer-kirurgi
Sammanfattning
Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery results in a reduced impact on the immune system compared with open surgery. This is important
when taken into consideration that the immune system may have an instrumental role in the advancement of cancer in the perioperative period.
Several studies have shown that the perioperative period is characterized by an immune incompetent period, which is believed to favour tumour
metastasis. In this paper factors associated with the cellular and innate immune response in relation to laparoscopic and open colorectal cancer
surgery are reviewed.
