Abstract / Excerpt:

To the Editor I read the article by Perry et al1 with interest. Several other molecular mechanisms and factors may also play a role in how anesthesia may influence cancer outcomes. First, it is important to distinguish the difference between certain fluoridated anesthesia, such as sevoflurane, from their contribution to higher plasma fluoride levels.
