Description
Leili Baghaie and co-authors report a clinical study, published in 2023, on the surge of signaling molecules that surgery itself triggers in cancer patients. Surgeons have long suspected that wound healing chemistry can wake leftover cancer cells and speed their spread. The team drew blood from sixty-eight patients with breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer around their operations, at eight time points each.
Protein panels measured dozens of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors at once. Right after surgery, several pro growth and pro vessel molecules spiked sharply, while other calming factors dropped. The pattern was measured in patients who had no other treatment near the operation, isolating surgery's own fingerprint. The authors argue this window deserves attention in planning care after cancer surgery.
