- Surgery is the primary cancer treatment.
- Anesthetic techniques can affect recovery and recurrence, but combining regional methods with general anesthesia doesn’t enhance outcomes.
- Ongoing RCTs are comparing propofol TIVA and volatile anesthesia.
- The impact of blood transfusions needs more research.
- Gaining insight into how anaesthetic drugs influence inflammation and immune function is a complex and detailed process, essential for advancing our understanding of their role in cancer surgery.
