Sponsor's own description
Digestive cancers (liver, colonic, pancreatic) have a high incidence and high mortality, their population prevalence is also increasing. Given that the anesthesia techniques and the agents used act directly and indirectly on the immune system during the perioperative period, influencing both the treatment and the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer who undergo elective interventions, a series of perianesthetic interventions have been proposed in order to reduce morbidity-mortality perioperative.
