Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
There has been an assumption, that the pharmacological effects of local anaesthetic agents and/or the analgesic benefits of regional anaesthesia and analgesia might lead to a reduction of cancer recurrence and/or metastases after cancer surgery. These benefits over general anaesthesia and opioid-based postoperative analgesia were claimed in particular with use of epidural techniques by retrospective studies. However, other retrospective and a number of prospective studies have not confirmed this impression in favour of epidural techniques. Similarly, there are inconclusive results with regard to the use of peripheral nerve blocks including paravertebral blocks and the use of spinal anaesthesia. Despite the theoretical potential of local anaesthetics and regional techniques, supported by in-vitro and animal studies, the current clinical situation is equivocal and further well-designed prospective studies are required to address this issue definitively.
