Key result
Optimization of modifiable perioperative factors may reduce morbidity and mortality, improve functional capacity, and possibly improve oncological outcomes in gastrointestinal cancer surgery.
Why the study?
Does optimization of perioperative care improve outcomes in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery?
Does optimization of perioperative care improve outcomes in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery?
Optimization of perioperative care in gastrointestinal cancer surgery may improve oncological outcomes and survival to a degree comparable to many adjuvant oncological regimens.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Perioperative optimization remains underemphasized in GI cancer; leaves open whether it meaningfully improves oncological outcomes.
Fearon et al. (2012) conducted a review in Gastrointestinal cancer. Optimization of perioperative care (enhanced recovery protocols) was evaluated. Optimization of modifiable perioperative factors may reduce morbidity and mortality, improve functional capacity, and possibly improve oncological outcomes in gastrointestinal cancer surgery.
