Preoperative Management Guidelines for Patients Undergoing Cancer Treatment
This comprehensive guide outlines various aspects of preoperative care for cancer patients, covering risk assessment, cardiac and respiratory evaluations, treatment options, and considerations for procedures like PCI. It also addresses the importance of evaluating LV function, coronary disease risk factors, and the role of coronary revascularization. Additionally, it discusses the use of bare-metal stents in patients preparing for PCI and highlights the significance of preoperative chemoradiation and nutritional support.

Surgeon Cardiologist 12-lead EKG Echocardiography Optimization of medication (HT, HF, arrhythmia) Tx of coronary obstruction (PCI, CABG) Pulmonologist PFT, ABGA Mucolytics, bronchodilators, respiratory therapy
Patients with DOE should undergo evaluation of LV function Patients with 1 risk factor of coronary disease, known CHD, peripheral arterial disease or cerebrovascular disease 12-lead ECG Patients with 3 or more risk factors and poor functional capacity Noninvasive stress test
Stable angina with left main disease, 3-vessel disease, 2-vessel disease with significant proximal LAD stenosis High risk unstable angina Acute ST-elevation angina Coronary revascularization before surgery is recommended
In patients who are undergoing preparation for PCI and who are likely to require invasive or surgical procedures within the next 12 months, consideration should be given to implantation of a baremetal stent or performance of balloon angioplasty with provisional stent implantation instead of the routine use of a DES.
Preopreative chemoradiation Cytotoxic agents (cisplatin, 5-FU) Nausea, vomitting, diarrhea, mucositis, and anorexia Radiation Mouth and thoroat soreness, difficulty swallowing, fatigue, and anorexia Nutritional support Weight gain after completion of chemoradiation Nutrition monitoring and evaluation Nutrition intervention Content, frequency, amount, IV or tube feeding Nutrition education (esp. for the patients with dysphagia)
Oral feeding in case of no dysphagia Nutrition modification in mild dysphagia Severe dysphagia L-tube feeding J-stomy feeding Esophageal stent PEG (usually not recommended for surgical candidates)
Incidentally detected Dysphagia Odynophagia Anorexia Weight loss Hoarseness Chest pain Vomiting, Reflux Supraclavicular or cervical lymphadenopathy
