Textbook of Onco-Anesthesiology

This book covers all essential evidence on perioperative care and anesthetic concerns for cancer surgeries, including evaluating and assessing patients’ schedules for cancer surgeries, perioperative anesthetic management of various cancers, perioperative analgesia for cancer surgeries, and issues related to inoperable cancers. It reviews anesthetic considerations of all cancer types, as there is a wide variation in anesthetic requirements in this subset of patients.

Cancer surgeries are on the rise worldwide, and healthcare facilities with cancer as a core specialty are emerging quickly around the globe. As cancer is on the rise and efficient surgical management is available, more and more patients are being treated surgically. However, cancer surgeries are complicated and have varied concerns, and these are not covered sufficiently in presently available textbooks of anesthesiology.

This book fulfills the growing need for a complete and comprehensive textbook on on-anesthesia. It fills the gap in the current texts that do not exclusively cover anesthesia for cancer surgeries.

This textbook is a comprehensive but quick guide for trainee residents/fellows and practicing anesthesiologists, clinicians, and surgeons.
