Brief Summary:
The investigators propose to compare recurrence-free survival in patients having potentially curative (Stages 1-3) surgery for esophageal cancer who will be randomly assigned to propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia or sevoflurane-based balanced general anesthesia.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Esophageal Cancer Drug: Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia Drug: Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia Phase 3

Detailed Description:

The investigators will test the primary hypothesis that recurrence-free survival after esophageal cancer surgery is longer in patients randomized to propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia than to volatile sevoflurane anesthesia.

The investigators will test the secondary hypotheses that propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia: 1) speeds discharge from the ICU; 2) speeds discharge from the hospital; and, 3) improves the quality of recovery, as assessed by QoR-15 on postoperative day 2.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia
Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia. A target-controlled infusion will be set to 2-4 µg/ml plasma concentrations, and varied as clinical necessary.
Drug: Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia
Patients will normally be given dexamethasone 10 mg and ramosetron 0.3-0.6 mg prophylaxis for postoperative nausea and vomiting. Rescue treatment will be provided per clinical routine. Post-operative analgesia will be opioid-based, typically sufentanil and dezocine via patient-controlled pump. Analgesic adjuvants will be used per clinician preference.

Active Comparator: Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia
Anesthesia will be maintained with sevoflurane, typically at an end-tidal concentration of 0.6-1.0 MAC, but adjusted as clinically necessary
Drug: Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia
Patients will normally be given dexamethasone 10 mg and ramosetron 0.3-0.6 mg prophylaxis for postoperative nausea and vomiting. Rescue treatment will be provided per clinical routine. Post-operative analgesia will be opioid-based, typically sufentanil and dezocine via patient-controlled pump. Analgesic adjuvants will be used per clinician preference.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Recurrence-free survival [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    The investigators will use the randomized groups to descriptively compared on all baseline variables using summary statistics such as mean and standard deviation, median and quartiles or frequency and percent, as appropriate.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The treatment effect of propofol-based anesthesia versus volatile anesthesia. [ Time Frame: up to 2 day ]
    The investigators will use a Cox proportional hazards time to event model to assess the treatment effect.
