Description
This book serves as a comprehensive yet concise introduction to the evolving field of oncoanesthesia, aimed at guiding newcomers while also updating experienced practitioners. As cancer epidemiology shifts and neoadjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy become more prevalent, patients present with increased complexity and vulnerability. The book provides expert insights on assessing and managing the systemic effects of these treatments, alongside practical approaches to enhanced recovery protocols and risk stratification. It covers anesthetic considerations for a wide range of cancer surgeries, including head and neck, breast, thoracic, and advanced procedures like CRS-HIPEC and PIPAC. Additionally, it addresses critical care, pain management, palliative strategies, and end-of-life care, making it an essential resource for anyone involved in the perioperative care of oncology patients.
