    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Oncology
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Postoperative infection and cancer metastasis are linked to reduced immune resistance.
    • Evaluating immune status is complex due to technical limitations and individual patient differences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a comprehensive approach for immunoevaluation in surgical patients.
    • To highlight the importance of standardized methods for assessing immune function.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of proposed immunoevaluation tests including hematology, cytochemistry, immunoglobulin and complement assays, fluorescence techniques, rosette assays, lymphocyte transformation tests, skin tests, and granulocyte/monocyte function tests.
    • Emphasis on the necessity of standardized materials and methods.
    • Highlighting the critical role of frozen serum and lymphocytes for longitudinal immune assessment across anesthesia phases.

    Main Results:

    • Identified a range of immunological tests applicable to postoperative patients.
    • Stressed the need for standardization in immunoevaluation procedures.
    • Underscored the importance of preserving biological samples (serum, lymphocytes) for comprehensive analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardized immunoevaluation is crucial for managing patients at risk of postoperative infection or metastasis.
    • Preservation of serum and lymphocytes is essential for accurate immune status assessment during different anesthetic phases.
