These include tumor shrinkage, the reduction of the pathological stage of primary lesions and metastatic lymph nodes, and the early elimination of possible smile metastases. This pre-operative therapy is advantageous as it paves the way for more successful surgical treatment. Nonetheless, research indicates that neoadjuvant chemotherapy may lead to cardiotoxicity, resulting in myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, arterial hypertension, and even heart failure. Therefore, the use of precision anesthesia, combined with cardioprotective strategies during surgery, is essential. By employing these measures, the surgical procedure can be performed more effectively, ultimately contributing to improved long-term survival outcomes for patients.

Regional anesthesia, including intravenous and neuraxial anesthesia, reduces the harmful effects of inhaled anesthetics and has shown to have positive perioperative effects in certain patient populations. Combining total intravenous anesthesia with target-controlled infusion results in optimized infusion rates, thereby reducing both anesthetic use and waste. Techniques such as processed electroencephalogram monitoring can be used to assess the sedation of a patient and prevent over-anesthetizing and consequently decreasing anesthetic use, which may contribute to improved surgical outcomes.
