Evaluation of the metabolic response to open and minimally invasive resection of the oesophagus due to oesophageal cancer.
Conclusions: Lower concentration of PCT on post-surgery day 2 in the group of patients undergoing minimally invasive oesophageal resection seems to be associated with a smaller perioperative injury. Lower TNF-α concentration in serum collected on day 0 in the group of patients undergoing minimally invasive resection is associated with a lower stage of oesophageal cancer in this group.
