Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The art and science of the analysis and quality improvement of clinical outcomes in the management of oncology patients, along with patient safety, continue to evolve at an increasingly rapid pace. In fact, over the years, novel concepts have arisen (risk stratification, shared decision making, interdisciplinary meetings, prehabilitation, etc.), new initiatives have taken shape (e.g., state/nation-wide or international clinical databases), and new innovative treatments have emerged. In order to care for our patients, raise the standards of healthcare services, and be successful in today’s and tomorrow’s rapidly changing healthcare environment, understanding and advancing these fields represents an essential duty of all oncologists, surgeons, physicians, and professionals related to oncology patients.
In this context, we call oncologists, surgeons, physicians, and professionals from all disciplines involved in the perioperative pathway of oncology patients (oncologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, intensivists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, etc.) to contribute to this Special Issue. Our vision is to provide the best currently available evidence on this crucial topic, thus providing all the necessary information to clinicians regarding core concepts in the management of oncology patients.
Dr. Dimitrios E. Magouliotis
