Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue "Perioperative Management and Cancer Outcomes" explores the crucial role of perioperative care in improving cancer treatment outcomes. This Issue aims to bring together the latest research and advancements in onco-anesthesiology, perioperative management strategies and their impact on cancer patients' prognosis.

The field of perioperative medicine in oncological patients has witnessed significant developments in recent years, recognizing the importance of comprehensive care before, during, and after surgical procedures. This Special Issue emphasizes the multidisciplinary approach required for optimal perioperative management, involving surgeons, anesthesiologists, oncologists, and other healthcare professionals.

The articles featured in this Special Issue cover various aspects of perioperative care, including preoperative risk assessment, optimization of patients' medical conditions, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, pain management strategies, and postoperative follow-up. Additionally, it highlights the integration of advanced technologies and personalized medicine approaches in perioperative care to tailor treatment plans for individual patients.

By addressing these topics, the Special Issue aims to provide healthcare providers with a comprehensive understanding of perioperative management's influence on cancer treatment outcomes. The knowledge shared in this Issue can inform clinical practice, foster collaboration, and inspire further research to optimize perioperative care strategies and ultimately improve cancer patients' postoperative recovery and long-term survival rates.

Background: Both diabetes and cancer are major global health issues that are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. There is a high prevalence of diabetes among cancer patients, many of whom require a surgical procedure. This review focuses on the operative complications in patients with diabetes and cancer, and the perioperative management of diabetes in cancer patients. Methodology: A literature search of articles in English—published between January 2010 and May 2024—was carried out using the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. The search primarily focused on the operative complications in patients with diabetes and cancer, and perioperative management strategies. Results: The relationship between cancer and diabetes is complex; cancer patients have a high risk of developing diabetes, while diabetes is a risk factor for certain cancers. In addition, various cancer therapies can induce or worsen diabetes in susceptible patients. Many individuals with cancer and diabetes require surgery, and due to underlying diabetes, they may have elevated risks for operative complications. Optimal perioperative management for these patients includes managing perioperative glycemia and other comorbid illnesses, adjusting diabetic and cancer treatments, optimizing nutrition, minimizing the duration of fasting, supporting early mobilization, and providing patient education to enable self-management. Conclusions: While evidence is limited, optimal perioperative management for patients with both diabetes and cancer is necessary in order to reduce surgical complications. Future studies are needed to develop evidence-informed perioperative strategies and improve outcomes for these patients. Full article
