Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Lignocaine  Intravenous lignocaine in a dose of 1.5 mg/kg bolus over 10 minutes prior to induction of anesthesia followed by 2.0 mg/kg/hour until skin closure using a programmable infusion pump 
Intervention  Lignocaine  Peri-tumoral Lignocaine infiltration. The dose will be calculated as 4.5 mg/kg (maximum safe dose). Equal volumes of lignocaine (0.5%) will be injected around the tumour using a six-quadrant technique. 
Comparator Agent  Normal saline  Patients will receive normal saline (NS) infusion 1 ml/minute over the first 10 minutes then 5 ml - 10 ml per hour until closure using a programmable infusion pump.

Brief Summary  

This randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhopal, involving departments of anesthesiology, biochemistry, surgery, oncosurgery and translational Medicine. The study will include three parallel arms: IV lignocaine infusion, peri-tumoral lignocaine infiltration, and a control group. A total of 105 patients will be enrolled, with 35 patients in each group. Block randomization will ensure balanced distribution across tumour subtypes. The IV lignocaine group will receive a weight based lignocaine bolus 10 minutes prior to incision followed by continuous infusion until skin closure, while the peri-tumoral group will receive a similar bolus injected around the tumor 10 minutes prior to incision. The control group will receive normal saline. All the groups will also receive evidence based standardised surgical and anesthesia care as defined in the study protocol. Biomarker levels will be measured using commercial ELISA kits, and patients will be followed for at least two years for cancer recurrence.
