Perioperative Care of the Cancer Patient

"The goal of the book is to provide a single source dedicated to the perioperative management of patients with cancer. Given the large number of patients in various states of health presenting for surgery, the book provides a useful resource for this patient population. The book is more than perioperative management, providing an understanding of the biology of cancer and the impact of various anesthetics on disease progression." ©Doody's Review Service, 2022, Robert R.
