Official Title: Assessment of Postoperative Lymphopenia as Risk Factor for Postoperative Infections: EVALYMPH Study

Brief Summary: Postoperative infections are one of the most common complications in thoracic and digestive cancer surgery. Former studies have demonstrated that inflammatory response is altered during peri-operative period causing lymphopenia. It has been suggested that lymphopenia may contribute to postoperative infection. To date, no one has proved it in a multivariate analysis. The aim of this study is to determine if lymphopenia is associated with postoperative infections in thoracic and digestive cancer surgery.
