Does regional anaesthesia and analgesia or opioid analgesia influence recurrence after primary cancer surgery? An update of available evidence

TLDR
Just how anaesthesia and analgesia impact cancer recurrence and consequent survival is very topical, as understanding the potential mechanisms and interactions has an impact on the anaesthetist's ability to contribute to the successful outcome of oncological interventions.

Can anesthetic-analgesic technique during primary cancer surgery affect recurrence or metastasis?

TL;DR: Current laboratory research suggests that perioperative interventions may impact recurrence or metastasis through effects on cancer cell signalling, the immune response, or modulation of the neuroendocrine stress response.

Perioperative Anesthesia Care and Tumor Progression.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the most recent up-to-date findings focused on the currently available "best clinical practice" regarding perioperative anesthesia care bundle factors and their effect on tumor progression.

Identification of early-stage colorectal cancer patients at risk of relapse post-resection by immunobead reverse transcription-PCR analysis of peritoneal lavage fluid for malignant cells

TL;DR: In this paper, tumor-associated markers were used to detect disseminated malignant cells and identify a subgroup of patients with early-stage colorectal cancer that were at risk of relapse.

Anesthetic technique and cancer recurrence in oncologic surgery: unraveling the puzzle.

TL;DR: Preclinical and retrospective studies highlight a potential benefit of anesthetic technique in reducing cancer-related mortality and recurrence by attenuating immunosuppression following surgical treatment in patients with specific types of cancer.

The pathogenesis of cancer metastasis: the 'seed and soil' hypothesis revisited

TL;DR: It is now known that the potential of a tumour cell to metastasize depends on its interactions with the homeostatic factors that promote tumour-cell growth, survival, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis.

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells: Linking Inflammation and Cancer

TL;DR: The characterization and suppressive mechanisms used by myeloid-derived suppressor cells to block tumor immunity are reviewed and the mechanisms by which inflammation promotes tumor progression through the induction of MDSC are described.

Effect of anastrozole and tamoxifen as adjuvant treatment for early-stage breast cancer: 10-year analysis of the ATAC trial.

TL;DR: The Arimidex, Tamoxifen, Alone or in Combination (ATAC) trial as discussed by the authors was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of anastrozole (1 mg) with tamioxifen (20 mg) as adjuvant treatment for postmenopausal women with early stage breast cancer.
