Impact of type of anaesthesia on long-term outcomes in glioma patients undergoing craniotomy: A systematic review
We found no impact of anaesthetic agent on glioma outcomes in majority of studies, but the literature suggesting potential tumour-modulating effects of these drugs is significant enough to warrant further studies. Similar associations exist in other cancers. Well-designed RCTs are crucial to clarify if anaesthetic agents affect long-term survival and oncological outcomes in glioma patients.
