The research progress on the effect of Non⁃opioid anesthetic drugs on the growth and metastasis of cancer cells / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Anesthesia drugs are closely related to metastasis and recurrence of tumors. In recent years, it is believed that anesthetics have important effects on proliferation, migration of tumor cells. Most studies suggest that opioids, mainly morphine, promote tumor growth and metastasis, while the clinical effects of different anesthetic drugs on different types of tumors and different subtypes of the same tumor are vaied. At present, non⁃opioid anesthesia drugs have potential advantages in postoperative metastasis and recurrence of tumor patients. Compared with opioid drugs, they have broad application prospects. This article reviews the progress of general anesthetics, local anesthetics and non⁃opioid analgesics.
