Anaesthesia and perioperative management contribute to long-term outcomes of patients with cancer, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We assessed the antitumour, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects of midazolam on LSL-KrasG12D/+;Trp53flox/flox;Pdx-1cre/+ transgenic mice with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. ⋯ These results suggest that midazolam inhibits pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma proliferation and local infiltration of tumour-associated neutrophils, tumour-associated macrophages, and polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells, thereby inhibiting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression.
