Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, anesthetic management has been personalized to different oncologic surgical approaches and radiotherapy treatments to improve recovery and reduce complications. Relationships among different anesthesia techniques and cancer recurrence have been explored, as well as how anesthesia can influence morbimortality and cancer-free survival.
The aim of individualizing perioperative management has been to target outcome optimization. Current research has focused on the effects of opioid-sparing anesthesia on postoperative chronic pain as well as on the feasibility, benefits, and challenges of transitioning major oncological surgeries to outpatient settings.
Ameliorating outcomes in the ICU should also be explored, as should steps to decreasing complications. Also, determining the criteria for discontinuing intensive care, balancing patient prognosis, quality of life, and ethical implications remain challenges in clinical practice.
This Special Issue aims to gather comprehensive research on perioperative management for oncological patients, foster further discussion, and improve outcomes and quality of life.
Research may include the following areas in oncologic surgery:
- Perioperative management of specific surgical approaches and radiotherapy treatments;
- Enhanced recovery after oncologic surgery;
- Anesthesia and cancer recurrence;
- Postoperative pain;
- Outcomes.
We encourage submissions that provide preclinical and clinical research, literature reviews, and clinical case studies that contribute to evolving practices.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ángel Becerra-Bolaños
