This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether the type of anesthesia used during breast cancer surgery affects how well your immune system works after the operation. Researchers will compare two standard anesthesia methods—one delivered through breathing (inhalation anesthesia) and one given through an IV—to see if one helps your body's infection-fighting cells stay stronger during recovery.
Surgery itself can temporarily weaken the immune system, which may affect how quickly you heal and how well your body fights off infections. This trial exists to find out if choosing one anesthesia method over another can help protect your immune system during and after breast cancer surgery.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of two types of anesthesia during your scheduled breast cancer surgery—you won't get to choose which one. The researchers and surgical team will monitor your immune system markers (through blood tests) before and after your surgery to compare how each anesthesia method affects your recovery. Your participation involves standard surgical care plus additional blood work to measure your immune response.
