          Abstract

          Treatment of preoperative anaemia is recommended as part of patient blood management, aiming to minimize perioperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusion. No clear evidence exists outlining which treatment modality should be used in patients with colorectal cancer. The study aimed to compare the efficacy of preoperative intravenous and oral iron in reducing blood transfusion use in anaemic patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery.

          Inflammatory response, immunosuppression, and cancer recurrence after perioperative blood transfusions.

          Debate on appropriate triggers for transfusion of allogeneic blood products and their effects on short- and long-term survival in surgical and critically ill patients continue with no definitive evidence or decisive resolution. Although transfusion-related immune modulation (TRIM) is well established, its influence on immune competence in the recipient and its effects on cancer recurrence after a curative resection remains controversial. An association between perioperative transfusion of allogeneic blood products and risk for recurrence has been shown in colorectal cancer in randomized trials; whether the same is true for other types of cancer remains to be determined. This article focuses on the laboratory, animal, and clinical evidence to date on the mechanistic understanding of inflammatory and immune-modulatory effects of blood products and their significance for recurrence in the cancer surgical patient.

            Effect of anaesthetic technique and other perioperative factors on cancer recurrence.

            Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment for potentially curable solid tumours. Metastatic disease is the most important cause of cancer-related death in these patients. The likelihood of tumour metastases depends on the balance between the metastatic potential of the tumour and the anti-metastatic host defences, of which cell-mediated immunity, and natural killer cell function in particular, is a critical component. It is increasingly recognized that anaesthetic technique and other perioperative factors have the potential to effect long-term outcome after cancer surgery. Surgery can inhibit important host defences and promote the development of metastases. Anaesthetic technique and drug choice can interact with the cellular immune system and effect long-term outcome. The potential effect of i.v. anaesthetics, volatile agents, local anaesthetic drugs, opiates, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are reviewed here. There is particular interest at present in the effect of regional anaesthesia, which appears to be beneficial. Retrospective analyses have shown an outcome benefit for paravertebral analgesia for breast cancer surgery and epidural analgesia for prostatectomy. Blood transfusion, pain, stress, and hypothermia are other potentially important perioperative factors to consider.

              Effects of allogeneic red blood cell transfusions on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

              To determine the effect of allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) on clinical outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery. Perioperative ABTs may be associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Systematic review of the literature with odds ratio (OR) and incidence rate ratio (IRR) meta-analyses of predefined clinical outcomes based on a MEDLINE search. In total, 20,795 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients observed for more than 59.2 ± 26.1 months (108,838 patient years) were included, of which 58.8% were transfused. ABT was associated with increased all-cause mortality OR = 1.72 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.55-1.91, P < 0.001); I(2) = 23.3% (0-51.1) and IRR = 1.31 (1.23-1.39, P < 0.001), I(2) = 0.0% (0-37.0). ABT was also associated with increased ORs (95% CI, P) for cancer-related mortality of 1.71 (1.43-2.05, P <0.001), combined recurrence-metastasis-death 1.66 (1.41-1.97, P < 0.001), postoperative infection 3.27 (2.05-5.20, P < 0.001), and surgical reintervention 4.08 (2.18-7.62, <0.001). IRR (95% CI, P) was 1.45 (1.26-1.66, <0.001) for cancer-related mortality and 1.32 (1.19-1.46, <0.001) for recurrence-metastasis-death. Mean length of hospital stay was significantly longer in transfused compared with nontransfused patients (17.8 ± 4.8 vs 13.9 ± 4.7 days, P = 0.005). In patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing surgery, ABTs are associated with adverse clinical outcomes, including increased mortality. Measures aimed at limiting the use of ABTs should be investigated further.
