Peridural analgesia does not impact survival in patients after colon cancer resection: a retrospective propensity score-adjusted analysis.

Purpose: To assess the putative impact of peridural analgesia on oncological outcome in patients undergoing resection of stages I-IV colon cancer.

Methods: In a single-center study, 876 patients undergoing resection for primary colon cancer (AJCC stages I-IV) between 2001 and 2014 were analyzed. Mean follow-up of the entire cohort was 4.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the utility of repeated versus single hepatic resection for colorectal cancer liver metastases.
