Abstract

Major oncologic surgeries present unique challenges for anesthesiologists, requiring a deep understanding of the pathophysiology of malignancy, the physiological impact of extensive surgical procedures, and the complexities of perioperative care. The anesthetic management involves a multidisciplinary approach between the surgical team and anesthesia providers. Methodical planning and advanced techniques can lead to optimal management of patients.
