Description
📘 Overview
Anesthesia Care for Cancer Patients is a 2025 specialty reference edited by Bharathi Gourkanti, Irwin Gratz, William Marion, Rajiv Lingaraju, and Grace Abramian. It focuses on the anesthetic, physiologic, pharmacologic, and perioperative challenges involved in caring for patients with cancer across the treatment continuum.
✨ Key Features
- Focused specifically on oncology-related anesthesia care, rather than general anesthesiology.
- Covers preoperative assessment, anesthetic techniques for cancer surgery, pain management, regional anesthesia, and perioperative complications.
- Includes important oncology-related topics such as immunocompromised and critically ill cancer patients, enhanced recovery protocols, palliative anesthesia care, and the effect of anesthesia choices on cancer progression and recovery.
- The chapter list includes subjects like chemotherapy complications, immunotherapy considerations, radiation therapy considerations, effects of anesthesia on cancer, and preoperative evaluation of cancer patients.
✅ Key Benefits
- Strong choice for clinicians who want a focused perioperative oncology reference instead of a broad anesthesia textbook. This is an inference from the title, introduction, and chapter structure.
- Useful for reviewing the special considerations that cancer patients bring to the OR, including treatment-related complications and risk optimization.
- Offers a more practice-oriented subspecialty angle for anesthesia providers involved in oncology surgery, cancer-related procedures, critical care, or pain pathways. This is my assessment based on the publisher description and contents.
