This article focuses on the problems which the anaesthetist faces in the preoperative evaluation of patients with cancer and the specific aspects of this consultation. The multidisciplinary approach to the care of patients with cancer demands an understanding of all aspects of its treatment. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are often combined and are very successful. Both the anatomic and physiologic alterations resulting from the presence of a malignancy as well as the consequences of previous and concurrent therapy may have profound effects on the perioperative management of the patient. The awareness and treatment of specific cancer related problems, allows optimal anesthetic care and the management of acute and chronic pain and terminal illness.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) confers neurological risks that contribute to cognitive and academic difficulties. Clinical guidelines state that cognition should be monitored using signaling questions. However, evidence is lacking regarding the extent to which signaling questions accurately identify children with cognitive issues.

Segmental colectomy versus total proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Aim: Total proctocolectomy (TPC) is the standard of care for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and dysplasia not amenable to endoscopic management. However, the risks of an extensive resection may outweigh the benefits in high-risk surgical patients. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess postoperative outcomes between segmental colectomy (SEG) versus TPC in patients with UC.

Recently, it has been realized that immune processes participate in the pathogenesis of human cancers. A large number of genetic polymorphisms in immune-related genes have been extensively examined for their roles in the susceptibility of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), including IL4 gene rs2070874, IL4RA gene rs1801275, IL18 gene rs187238, IL18RAP gene rs917997, IL17A gene rs8193036, IL23R gene rs1884444 and IL23R gene rs10889677. However, there is no consistent conclusion, which calls for further research.
