Influence of a human protease inhibitor on surgical stress induced immunosuppression.

Background/aim: Postoperative tissue injury and immunosuppression can occur after major surgery. In this study, we explore the potential benefits of administering a protease inhibitor to treat immunosuppression caused by surgical stress.

Methods: Sixteen patients with esophageal cancer were preoperatively allocated at random into two equal groups.
