🩺 Overview

This text is designed to serve as a comprehensive reference on the perioperative management of patients with cancer — spanning from pre-operative assessment through intraoperative care, postoperative and intensive care, as well as pain, palliative, and survivorship aspects. 
It emphasises that more than 80 % of patients with cancer will require anaesthesia, perioperative, critical-care, or pain-management services during their cancer journey (diagnosis, treatment, recurrence/survivorship).

🔑 Key Features

• Covers basic principles: cancer epidemiology, cancer biology, newer therapies and their perioperative implications.

• Explores inflammation-immune responses, anesthetic techniques and their possible implications on cancer outcomes (e.g., regional vs general, local anaesthetics, opioids).

• Detailed perioperative/procedural care by cancer type and surgical setting (brain, spine, head & neck, GI, GU, gynecologic, reconstructive, emergencies).

• Focus on acute postoperative and intensive care of the cancer patient including special challenges for novel therapies and critical illness in cancer.

• Includes chapters on pain, palliative, integrative medicine in cancer patients (acute post-surgical pain, chronic pain/interventional, rehabilitation).

• Addresses pediatric cancer surgical/perioperative care: assessment, intraoperative, ICU, chronic pain & palliative considerations in children.

• Looks at value proposition, research, big data in perioperative cancer care: economics, patient-reported outcomes, computational science.

🎯 Ideal For

• Anesthesiologists and perioperative medicine specialists involved in surgical care of cancer patients

• Pain medicine physicians managing cancer-related perioperative/palliative pain scenarios

• Critical care/intensive care physicians caring for surgical cancer patients in ICU

• Surgeons (oncologic, reconstructive) who wish to understand perioperative optimisation for cancer patients

• Residents/fellows in anaesthesia, critical care, surgical oncology looking for a detailed reference in this niche

• Allied health professionals (pain specialists, nurse-anesthetists, surgical nurse coordinators) participating in the care of cancer surgery patients

⭐ Recommendation

This book fills a critical niche: the intersection of cancer care and perioperative/perianesthesia/pain management. For clinicians and educators focused on pain, interventional therapies, anesthesia and surgical care in oncology settings, it provides a robust, up-to-date resource. Its multidisciplinary content makes it highly valuable for your library, particularly given your interest in pain management across populations (including cancer-related pain).
