Official Title: Effects of Epidural Anesthesia/Analgesia on Recurrence and Metastasis in Patients After Lung Cancer Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Summary: Some studies suggest that regional anesthesia/analgesia may decrease the rate of recurrence/metastasis in patients after cancer surgery. However, evidences from prospective studies are still lacking. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of epidural anesthesia/analgesia on the rate of recurrence/metastasis in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
