This unique multidisciplinary textbook on “PerioperativeCare of the Cancer Patient” highlights key topics of cancerepidemiology, cancer biology, cancer therapeutics and theireffects on the physiologic and functional status of patients,and the unique challenges of cancer patients and survivorsin the perioperative/periprocedural setting, which directlyinfluence patient outcomes. Finally, special considerations ofchildhood cancers; unique intensive care needs of patientswith cancer; cancer pain management; rehabilitative, palliativecare, and integrative medicine interventions in thecancer patient; value proposition; and research opportunitiesand challenges in perioperative cancer care are also addressed.Each of the chapters is authored by international experts inthe field and discusses the current understanding and practices,current controversies and unanswered questions, andthe direction for future studies. This exercise, we hope, willhighlight the need for ongoing scientific study on key areasto further enhance perioperative and periprocedural care ofour patients with cancer and cancer survivors.We believe this is an exciting time for Anesthesiology andPerioperative Medicine, as we continue to partner with our oncology,internist, intensivist, pain management, rehabilitativepalliativecare-integrative medicine specialists, proceduralistcolleagues, and research teams to break down silos and worktogether as “one team” to improve postoperative outcomes, enhancethe quality of recovery and life for our patients, and offerimproved disease-free survival. This patient-centered, multidisciplinary,disease-focused, value-based approach should enhancethe perioperative experience and disease-free survival forour patients with cancer while reducing health care costs.
