Why is Preoperative Planning Crucial for Cancer Patients?
Cancer patients often have unique considerations due to the nature of their disease. Effective preoperative planning can help in:
Assessing the extent of the disease and determining the most appropriate surgical approach. Evaluating the patient's overall health and fitness for surgery. Identifying potential risks and complications. Coordinating care among different healthcare providers, including oncologists, surgeons, and anesthesiologists. Ensuring that the patient and their family are well-informed about the procedure and postoperative care.
