Abstract
Purpose of review: To provide up to date information on postoperative delirium and neurocognitive disorders in surgical cancer patients.
Recent findings: Established risk factors such as age, psychosocial factors, comorbidities, frailty and preexisting cognitive decline continue to exhibit associations with perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND); novel risk factors identified recently include microbiome composition and vitamin D deficiency. Prevention measures include cognitive prehabilitation, perioperative geriatric assessment and multidisciplinary care, dexmedetomidine and multimodal analgesic techniques. Studies investigating ciprofol, remimazolam, esketamine, ramelteon and suvorexant have shown encouraging results. Controversy remains regarding the use of inhalational versus intravenous general anesthesia. Innovative approaches to address PND are a rapidly developing area of research, but more studies are needed to identify effective prevention and management interventions. Despite challenges and controversy in the field, implementation of best practice can reduce the detrimental impact of PND on patients, caregivers, and society at large.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
