Perioperative Immune Function in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Perioperative Immune Function in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Cancer Surgery Using a Functional Whole Blood Immune Stimulation Assay

At Zealand University Hospital, Denmark, the investigators will examine the immune function of patients with colorectal cancer before and after tumor resection.

The immune function will be assessed with functional profiling of the immune function (TruCulture®)

The study aims to describe alterations in the perioperative immune response to surgery. The generatied knowledge will lead to better under standing of perioperative pathophysiology.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients scheduled for laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer with curative intent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Age under 18
• Neoadjuvant chemo or radiation therapy
