Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to prove whether general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia could better maintain body balance of Th1/Th2 and Treg/Th17 compared with general anesthesia, so as to reduce the surgical stress-related immunosuppression, and to improve the prognosis.
