Abstract:
Despite an increase in knowledge on the biology of cancer and newer therapeutic modalities, the incidence and mortality of cancer continue to rise. Interventions to enhance perioperative outcomes in cancer is a growing research area that targets early recovery and initiation of cancer-specific treatment.
