Title: | Does regional anaesthesia and analgesia or opioid analgesia influence recurrence after primary cancer surgery? An update of available evidence | Authors: | Ash, Simon A.; Buggy, Donal J. | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/8242 | Date: | Dec-2013 | Online since: | 2017-01-03T17:09:29Z | Abstract: | Cancer continues to be a key cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and its overall incidence continues to increase. Anaesthetists are increasingly faced with the challenge of managing cancer patients, for surgical resection to debulk or excise the primary tumour, or for surgical emergencies in patients on chemotherapy or for the analgesic management of disease- or treatment-related chronic pain. Metastatic recurrence is a concern. Surgery and a number of perioperative factors are suspected to accelerate tumour growth and potentially increase the risk of metastatic recurrence. Retrospective analyses have suggested an association between anaesthetic technique and cancer outcomes, and anaesthetists have sought to ameliorate the consequences of surgical trauma and minimise the impact of anaesthetic interventions. Just how anaesthesia and analgesia impact cancer recurrence and consequent survival is very topical, as understanding the potential mechanisms and interactions has an impact on the anaesthetist's ability to contribute to the successful outcome of oncological interventions. The outcome of ongoing, prospective, randomized trials are awaited with interest. | Type of material: | Book Chapter | Publisher: | Elsevier | Journal: | Best Practice and Research Clinical Anaesthesiology | Volume: | 27 | Issue: | 4 | Start page: | 441 | End page: | 456 | Copyright (published version): | 2013 Elsevier | Keywords: | Anaesthesia; Metastases; Recurrence; Cancer; Regional; Opioids; NSAIDs | DOI: | 10.1016/j.bpa.2013.10.005 | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed | This item is made available under a Creative Commons License: | https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/ |
