ABSTRACT
Anesthesiologists are experiencing first-hand the aging population, given older patients more frequently presenting for surgery, often with geriatric syndromes influencing their anesthetic management. The overall incidence and health burden of cancer morbidity and mortality are also rapidly increasing worldwide. This growth in the cancer population, along with the associated risk factors and comorbidities often accompanying a cancer diagnosis, underscores the need for anesthesiologists to become well versed in the preoperative evaluation and management of the adult patient with cancer. This article will focus on the unique challenges and opportunities for the anesthesiologist caring for the adult oncology patient presenting for surgery.
