Abstract
Introduction In patients undergoing cancer surgery, it is ambiguous whether propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) elicits a significantly higher overall survival rate than volatile anesthetics (VA). Consequently, evaluating the impact of TIVA and VA on long-term oncological outcomes is crucial.
Aim This study compared TIVA versus VA for cancer surgery patients and investigated the potential correlation between anesthetics and their long-term surgical outcomes.
Material and methods A comprehensive search of Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library identified English-language peer-reviewed journal papers. The statistical measurements of hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI were calculated. We assessed heterogeneity using Cochrane Q and I2 statistics and the appropriate p-value. The analysis used RevMan 5.3.
Results The meta-analysis included 10 studies with 14036 cancer patients, 6264 of whom received TIVA and 7777 VA. In this study, we examined the long-term oncological outcomes of cancer surgery patients with TIVA and VA. Our data show that the TIVA group had a considerably higher overall survival rate (HR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.30–0.80) and recurrence-free survival rate (HR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.32–0.97). Each outcome was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusions The present study concludes that TIVA is a more effective anesthetic agent than VA in obtaining better long-term oncological outcomes in cancer patients after surgery as it provides a higher overall survival rate, a higher recurrence-free survival rate and fewer post-operative pathological findings in patients who have undergone surgery for cancer as compared to VA.
