Ongoing trial comparing various anesthetic techniques on outcomes related to cancer
The Volatile Anaesthesia and Perioperative Outcomes Related to Cancer (VAPOR-C) trial is a large, international, randomized clinical trial of inhalational volatile or intravenous propofol anesthesia (TIVA) and intravenous lidocaine/placebo to improve disease free survival after surgery for colorectal cancer and lung cancer.
Our THRIVE trial was designed in part as a complement to VAPOR-C, in order to help contribute to the existing body of literature on TIVA.
