Abstract
The explosion in the use of therapeutic laparoscopy during the past decade has focused much research interest on finding a basic scientific support for the clinically apparent attenuation of the stress response to surgery. In particular, the potential impact that attenuation of the immune response to surgery may have on laparoscopy for the cure of malignancy has attracted much attention.Keywords
