Key result
Advancements in onco-anaesthesia and integrated palliative care aim to improve perioperative oncological outcomes and the quality of life for patients with cancer.
Why the study?
Despite advances in cancer biology and therapeutics, cancer incidence and mortality continue to rise, mandating perioperative interventions and integrated palliative care to improve outcomes and quality of life.
This review highlights the role of integrated palliative care and advancements in onco-anaesthesia in improving oncological outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients.
Supports integrated perioperative and palliative care in cancer; leaves open optimal strategies and implementation.
Despite an increase in knowledge on the biology of cancer and newer therapeutic modalities, the incidence and mortality of cancer continue to rise. Interventions to enhance perioperative outcomes in cancer is a growing research area that targets early recovery and initiation of cancer-specific treatment. Increasing mortality in non-communicable diseases such as cancer mandates an integrated palliative care for these patients to achieve the best possible quality of life. The aim of this review is to discuss in brief the advancements in onco-anaesthesia and palliative medicine that have helped improve oncological outcomes and the quality of life of patients.
