Abstract:Recent evidence has indicated that inhalational anesthetics may affect the growth and malignant potential of tumor cells and ultimately influence tumor recurrence after surgery. Sevoflurane, a volatile anesthetic, is used extensively in hepatectomy. However, the effect of sevoflurane on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells remains unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of sevoflurane on HCC metastasis and its potential mechanisms in the human HCC cell lines, HepG2 and SMMC7721.… Show more
