Brief Title: Prothrombotic Factors and Anaesthesia in Prostate Cancer
Official Title: Prothrombotic Factors , Angiogenic Growth Factor and Different Anaesthetic Techniques in Cancer Patients Undergoing Prostatectomy
Study ID: NCT01998685
Brief Summary: This study aims to assess if different anesthetic techniques can affect coagulant factors in patients with prostate cancer undergoing elective laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).
Detailed Description: The utility of anti-thrombotic prophylaxis in cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is still controversial. Moreover, different anaesthetic techniques could modify coagulant factors. Thus, in this study we will be to investigate the variations of pro- and anti-coagulant and fibrinolytic factors in two established types of anaesthesia in patients with prostate cancer undergoing elective LRP.
