Anesthetic Choices that Save Lives: The Propofol Debate in Cancer Survival

In the ever-evolving field of anesthesia, new research constantly reshapes how we approach patient care. In this episode, we explore the compelling findings of a recent systematic review and meta-analysis on the impact of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on cancer outcomes.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• We’ll provide an overview of the study and some of the key findings.


• The biological underpinnings of propofol’s benefits.


• The preservation of immune function could be a key factor in why propofol is associated with better survival outcomes.


• Dissecting the findings on recurrence-free survival.


• A deep dive into propofol’s role in lung cancer.


• Clinical implications and practical considerations.


• The future of anesthesia and cancer research.
