Does laparoscopic surgery contribute more to nutritional and immunologic recovery than fast-track care in colorectal cancer?
Laparoscopic surgery accelerated postoperative nutrition and immune levels rising again while fast-track treatment retarded the drop of postoperative nutrition and immune levels. Laparoscopic surgery might play a more important role than fast-track treatment in the earlier postoperative recovery of nutritional and immunologic status. Combined laparoscopic surgery with fast-track treatment provided best postoperative recovery of nutrition and immune status. These results should be further compared with the clinical outcomes of our FTMDT trial (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01080547).
SGP-T has several biological activities that collectively help explain the ability of the CST-SMG axis to regulate inflammation.
