Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 08/31/09
Ng CSH et al. – Video–assisted thoracoscopic lung resection results in an attenuated postoperative inflammatory response, but more importantly, it better preserves postoperative immune function. Circulating natural killer and T–cell numbers, T–cell oxidative activity, and levels of immunochemokines such as insulin growth factor binding protein–3 are higher after video–assisted thoracoscopic surgery than after thoracotomy. Recently, interest has developed in the role of the angiogenesis factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, after cancer surgery.
