2. Age = 18 years
3. Results of laboratory tests are in the area that the patient is qualified to perform an operation
4. Written informed consent
5. For control group: Five subjects are non-cancer patients
1. Medical history revealing psychiatric disease or any other serious diseases
2. Participating in other clinical trials
3. Any findings in physical examination that would in the opinion of the investigator make participation unsafe for the volunteer
