Murphy O, Forget P, Ma D, Buggy DJ. Tumour excisional surgery, anaesthetic-analgesic techniques, and oncologic outcomes: a narrative review. Br J Anaesth 2023; 131:989-1001. [PMID: 37689540 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2023.07.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Cancer is a growing global burden; there were an estimated 18 million new cancer diagnoses worldwide in 2020. Excisional surgery remains one of the main treatments for solid organ tumours in cancer patients and is potentially curative. Cancer- and surgery-induced inflammatory processes can facilitate residual tumour cell survival, growth, and subsequent recurrence. However, it has been hypothesised that anaesthetic and analgesic techniques during surgery might influence the risk of cancer recurrence. This narrative review aims to provide an updated summary of recent observational studies and new randomised controlled clinical trials on whether certain specific anaesthetic and analgesic techniques or perioperative interventions during tumour resection surgery of curative intent materially affect long-term oncologic outcomes.

Efficacy of local anaesthetic infiltration via wound catheters after open hepatic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. HPB (Oxford) 2023; 25:1-13. [PMID: 36347769 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2022.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study analysed whether local anaesthetic wound catheter infiltration (LA-WCI) as an adjunct to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) provides superior outcomes compared to IV-PCA alone following liver resection. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted for randomised control trials (RCTs) comparing LA-WCI with IV-PCA(LA-WCI group) versus IV-PCA alone (IV-PCA group). PubMed and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant articles. RESULTS Six RCTs with a total of 440 patients were included. Opioid use in the initial 48 h was less in the LA-WCI group [MD -21.27 mg (-39.39,-3.15), p = 0.02]. Pain scores were lower in the LA-WCI group at rest at POD0 (post-operative day 0)6-8 h (p = 0.0009), POD1AM(p = 0.01), POD1PM(p = 0.02) and POD2 (p = 0.0006), and exertion at POD0 0-2 h (p = 0.05), POD1AM(p = 0.03), POD1PM(p = 0.03), POD2 (p = 0.03) and POD3 (p = 0.01). LA-WCI group had reduced length of hospital stay [MD -1.32 days (-2.23,-0.40),p = 0.005], time to ambulation [MD -5.94 h (-8.47,-3.42),p = 0.00001] and incidence of nausea and vomiting (PONV) [OR 0.17 (0.07,0.43),p = 0.0002]. No differences were observed in length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay or incidence of surgical site infections. DISCUSSION LA-WCI as an adjunct to opiate IV-PCA post-hepatectomy reduces opioid use, pain scores at multiple time points at rest and exertion, length of hospital stay, time to ambulation and PONV. However, LA-WCI use does not alter length of ICU stay or incidence of wound infection.

Profiling symptom burden and its influencing factors at discharge for patients undergoing lung cancer surgery: a cross-sectional analysis. J Cardiothorac Surg 2022; 17:229. [PMID: 36057613 PMCID: PMC9441056 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-022-01974-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Following lung cancer surgery, patients often experience severe symptoms which are not properly assessed at discharge. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical presentation at discharge and the influencing factors of postoperative symptoms in patients who have undergone lung cancer surgery. Methods This cross-sectional study analysed data from patients who participated in a prospective cohort study that enrolled patients who underwent lung cancer surgery at six tertiary hospitals in the People’s Republic of China, from November 2017 to January 2020. Patient symptoms at discharge were measured using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Lung Cancer module. The five core symptoms were defined according to ratings of moderate to severe symptoms (≥ 4 on a 0–10 scale). A multivariate linear regression model was used to identify the influencing factors of each symptom at discharge. Results Among the 366 participants, 51.9% were male and the mean (SD) age was 55.81 (10.43) years. At discharge, the core symptoms were cough (36.4%), pain (28.2%), disturbed sleep (26.3%), shortness of breath (25.8%), and fatigue (24.3%), and more than half of the participants (54.6%) had one to five of the core symptoms, with moderate to severe severity. A low annual income and the use of two chest tubes were significantly associated (P = 0.030 and 0.014, respectively) with higher mean scores of the core symptoms. Conclusion Though clinically eligible for discharge, more than half of the participants had severe symptoms at discharge after lung cancer surgery. Special attention should be given to patients who have two chest tubes after surgery and those who have a low annual income.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in head and neck oncologic surgery: Impact on return to intended oncologic therapy (RIOT) and survival. Oral Oncol 2022; 130:105906. [PMID: 35594776 DOI: 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2022.105906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways in head and neck cancer (HNC) have shown to improve perioperative outcomes and reduce complications. The longer term implications on adjuvant treatment and survival have not been studied. We hereby report the first study on the impact of an ERAS pathway on return to intended oncologic treatment (RIOT) and overall survival (OS) in HNC. METHODS 200 patients undergoing head and neck oncologic surgery on an ERAS pathway between March 1, 2016 and March 31, 2019 were matched to controls over the same interval. Demographic, tumor and adjuvant therapy-related data were collected, including time to adjuvant therapy(TAT) and treatment package time(TPT). Risk factors for TAT > 42 days and TPT ≥ 85 days were assessed. OS was compared and risk factors for inferior OS determined. RESULTS Baseline characteristics including co-morbidities and tumor stage were similar. Of 179 patients planned for adjuvant treatment, there was no difference in RIOT rate (89.0% vs 87.5%, p = 0.753), proportion of TAT > 42 days of surgery (55.6% vs 59.7%, p = 0.642), or TPT ≥ 85 days (48.1% vs 57.1, p = 0.258), for the ERAS and control groups, respectively. On multivariate analysis, alcohol use (OR 3.58; 95 %CI 1.11-11.52) and recurrent disease status (OR 2.88; 95 %CI 1.40-5.93) were independently associated with prolonged TAT. Three-year OS was similar between the ERAS and control groups (73% vs 76%, p = 0.521). CONCLUSION ERAS has not shown to improve RIOT or OS in the current study. However, its benefit for perioperative outcomes is undeniable and further studies are required on longer term quality and survival outcomes.

Abstract
Increased inspiratory oxygen concentration is constantly used during the perioperative period of cancer patients to prevent the potential development of hypoxemia and to provide an adequate oxygen transport to the organs, tissues and cells. Although the primary tumours are surgically removed, the effects of perioperative hyperoxia exposure on distal micro-metastases and on circulating cancer cells can potentially play a role in cancer progression or recurrence. In clinical trials, hyperoxia seems to increase the rate of postoperative complications and, by delaying postoperative recovery, it can alter the return to intended oncological treatment. The effects of supplemental oxygen on the long-term mortality of surgical cancer patients offer, at this point, conflicting results. In experimental studies, hyperoxia effects on cancer biology were explored following multiple pathways. In cancer cell cultures and animal models, hyperoxia increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increases the oxidative stress. These can be followed by the induction of the expression of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other molecules involved in angiogenesis and by the promotion of various degrees of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Comparison between epidural and intravenous analgesia effects on disease-free survival after colorectal cancer surgery: a randomised multicentre controlled trial. Br J Anaesth 2021; 127:65-74. [PMID: 33966891 PMCID: PMC8258969 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2021.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) has been suggested to improve survival after curative surgery for colorectal cancer compared with systemic opioid analgesia. The evidence, exclusively based on retrospective studies, is contradictory. Methods In this prospective, multicentre study, patients scheduled for elective colorectal cancer surgery between June 2011 and May 2017 were randomised to TEA or patient-controlled i.v. analgesia (PCA) with morphine. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival at 5 yr after surgery. Secondary outcomes were postoperative pain, complications, length of stay (LOS) at the hospital, and first return to intended oncologic therapy (RIOT). Results We enrolled 221 (110 TEA and 111 PCA) patients in the study, and 180 (89 TEA and 91 PCA) were included in the primary outcome. Disease-free survival at 5 yr was 76% in the TEA group and 69% in the PCA group; unadjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74–2.32), P=0.35; adjusted HR: 1.19 (95% CI: 0.61–2.31), P=0.61. Patients in the TEA group had significantly better pain relief during the first 24 h, but not thereafter, in open and minimally invasive procedures. There were no differences in postoperative complications, LOS, or RIOT between the groups. Conclusions There was no significant difference between the TEA and PCA groups in disease-free survival at 5 yr in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer. Other than a reduction in postoperative pain during the first 24 h after surgery, no other differences were found between TEA compared with i.v. PCA with morphine.
