What is the problem and who is affected?
Conducted as part of the international Cleveland Clinic’s “Regional Anesthesia and Breast Cancer Recurrence” study, BCAR is a study to compare the cancer recurrence rates in patients undergoing routine anaesthesia before breast cancer surgery.
What is this research hoping to achieve?
Two groups will be compared: one will have general anaesthesia with opioids, and the other will have an epidural or paravertebral block and deep sedation.
