About this trial
This is a two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial. Routine perioperative care would be performed in volunteers with primary early lung cancer. The study will enroll approximately 300 volunteers to compare the progression-free or overall survival in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for primary lung tumors between propofol and sevoflurane for the maintenance of anesthesia.

Treatments tested in this trial
Propofol
DrugThe propofol group was both induced and maintained at an effect-site concentration (Ce) of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system.
Sevoflurane
DrugThe sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3 MAC)
