Perioperative medicine & outcomes
The effect of the type of anaesthesia on long‐term outcomes after cancer resection surgery: a narrative review
Authors' conclusion
Despite promising data from laboratory experimental models, the balance of available clinical trials indicates an equivalent influence of all evaluated anaesthetic techniques on long-term oncologic outcomes, except, possibly, for peritumoral or intraperitoneal local anaesthetic infiltration.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing cancer resection surgery; preclinical and clinical studies
- Comparison
- Volatile anaesthetics, TIVA with propofol, local anaesthetics, RA and opioids, and long-term cancer outcomes
- Outcome
- Long-term oncologic outcomes
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Clinical trials indicate an equivalent influence of all evaluated anaesthetic techniques on long-term oncologic outcomes, except possibly peritumoral or intraperitoneal local anaesthetic infiltration
- Promising data from laboratory experimental models
