27. Does surgery increase the risk of cancer metastasis? The answer will change the way you view medical procedures
01 Jun 2025
Surgery can wake up dormant cancer cells—even if the surgery is unrelated to cancer. In this striking episode, Drs. Dawn Lemanne and Deborah Gordon uncover how surgical trauma and anesthesia suppress immune function for weeks, creating an ideal window for tumor growth. Listen in as they discuss powerful, little-known tools to counteract this: a flu shot given within 24 hours before surgery can preserve immune surveillance; which painkillers to avoid after surgery; and how Cialis may reduce metastatic risk when used preoperatively. Bonus: Learn how heart rate variability reveals immune strength and insulin sensitivity.
