Long Term Consequences Anesthetic Choice/Management
Goals Perioperative management implications for cancer patients
PeriOperative Morbidity & Mortality • 1980’s Anesth mortality was 1:10,000 now this is closer to 1:100,000 • Δ Mandated SpO2, ETCO2, NIBP,ECG and AAM technology • 10% all cause mortality (age 65+) in the year after surgery is 10,000 X more common than preventable anesthetic deaths but ...... • Increasing evidence suggests PeriOp management may have long term consequences – PO Neuro Cognitive , Surg Site Infection and Cancer Recurrance
“Recent” Anesthetic Management History • 90’s periOp B blockers reduce all cause mortality @ 1 year ( Swedish study with Atenolol) • NA studies had more aggressive end pts and there was a significant increase in PeriOp strokes • Spinals/epidurals (pelvic,urologic,major ortho) blood loss , DVTs, chronic incisional pain and PONCD
More History • Terri Monk – BIS monitor observational study reported a 3 fold increase in one year mortality in elderly patients with deep anesthesia. This has now spawned the “B Aware” trials. She also noted; • More pronounced effects of anesthetic agents in patients with carcinoma and commented on; • Significant adverse long term consequence to GA esp at the extremes of age • Learning & behavioural issues ≤ 2 years (possibly age three in most recent studies) • Neurocognitive decline - elderly
One of Monk’s conclusions • “We must investigate the mechanisms by which patients with cancer respond to standard anesthetic doses with more pronounced cortical electrical depression and how pharmacokinectics and dynamics are altered in pre existing disease states”
Pharmacologic Implications – foranother time • IARS Smart Tots® research initiatives on pediatric inhalational anesthesia - (neuroplasicity, agent toxicity vs stress) i.e. This is more than separation anxiety! • Ketamine ( nmda receptor inhibitors) • Illicit substances ( Ecstasy, Amphetamines, Cocaine, crystal meth ......) • Etomidate
Are Anesth & Surg during infancy associated with altered academic performance during childhood?*
Ca Surgery : Generalizations from the lab • Surgical manipulation – tumor cell release into lymphatics and blood stream • Micro metastases already present prior to surgery • This MINIMAL RESIDUAL DISEASE can result in clinical mets when there is a balance shift between the patient’s immune status and the tumors’ ability to seed,proliferate and attract new blood vessels
PeriOp balance shift * Surgery per se • Tumor cells released into circulation • cell mediated immunity ( T cell and NK cell function) • Increased Vascular Endothelial and other growth factors ( Normally promote wound healing but are pre empted by malignant cells)
PeriOp balance Shift* Volatile inhalational anesthetics • Dose/patient specific dependent depression of neutrophil, macrophage, dendritic cell, T cell and NK cell immune functions
PeriOp Balance Shift* Opiods • Morphine, and to a lesser degree synthetic narcotics, decrease cellular and humoral immune function. Systemic administration has been associated with a proangiogenic action promoting tumor growth. • By contrast most non opiod analgesia preserves NK cell function and, in rodents, reduces metastatic tumor spread.
MOR – Opiod Receptor • Red – single nucleotide polymorphisms
Neoplastic Variability • MOR – u opiod receptor • VEGF – vasc endo growth factor • Various mammallian tumor cell lines result in enhanced specificity of the mediators of angiogenisis
Opiod Receptor Gene A118G polymorphism predicts survival in patients with breast cancerBortstov AV et al Anesthesiology April 2012 896-902 • Genotype stratification was correlated to breast cancer specific mortality • One further observation re European American vs Afro American breast cancer survival data
Regional Anesthesia;Spinals & Epidurals • Prevent Neuroendocrine Stress by; • Blocking afferent neural traffic • Blocking descending efferent activation of the sympathetic nervous system Note: narcotic doses required to generate a stress free surgical anesthetic are impractical in most instances.
? Regional – General Combo • If pre incision functioning block then Neuroendocrine stress • volatile anesthetic requirements • post op opiods • endogenous opiods (endorphins) Caveat: adequate perfusion pressure
“Random”, but associated studies • Paravertable blocks; 4 fold in recurrence or mets in breast Ca • Primary melanoma excision; if GA vs local or regional anesthesia: -ve predictive value 1.46 for survival • Epidural anesthesia for Radical Prostatectomy, colonic cancer surgery and Ovarian Serous Adenocarcinoma – variable but survival or “cancer free” period
Other PeriOp decisions • Blood transfusion • Glucose control • Fluid management • Inhalational anesthetic toxicity – newborns • Persistent incisional pain • Beta blockers • central ᾄ agonists – clonidine • NSAIDS • NMDA receptor blockers

Potential Influence Rad ProstateWuethrich et al Anesthiology 2010 Disscussion • Excess prostaglandin release and endogenous cortisol immunosuppression • NSAIDS inhibit prostaglandin synthesis • Cyclooxyngenase 2 is induced in “tumor promoters” – prostaglandin synthesis increase prostate cell lines while COX2 inhibitors induce apoptosis (cell death)

A retrospective analysisAnesthAnalg 2010: 110; 1630-5 • 327 mastectomy/Axillary dissection chart reviews – 1 surgeon, 1 Oncologist, 2 anesthetists ( Feb ‘03- Sept ‘08) • 8 excluded re pulm mets, incomplete op etc. • Pre incision: Clonidine or Ketamine or Ketoloric, all received postOp diclofenac & acetaminophen • GA sufentanil, STP or propofol, Sevo or Des plus Air/Oxygen
The Effects of Anesthetic Technique on Cancer Recurence ---RFA Small Hepatocellular CarcinomaLai A et all A&A 2012; 114: 290-6 • Retrospective review Aug 1999 – Dec 2009 ; 179 consecutive pts with < 3cm hepatic tumors • End points - overall and recurrence free survival • Epidural (T8-10 1.5% lidocaine) vs GA (Fentanyl, Propofol TIVA) • Study limitation – adequate epidural anesthesia was not defined • Study results ???
RFA Hepatocellular Ca ......Hazard ratios: • Recurrance free survival; Epivs GA (3.66), Tumor # (2.28), GGT ( 1.39) • Overall survival; Liver function (2.30), Tumor # (2.36) GA no benefit in overall survival • Inverse probability weighted Epivs GA = 1.26 Epidural anesthesia for this procedure can be associated with referred pain requiring add’nopiods. This could also limit current intensity or duration of therapy. Epi patients did not have any opiod sparing in the post op period.

Summary What do we know about surgical stress response and Cancer?
A mine field – Periop period • Opiods – analogs of morphine – u3 • Cox inhibiters • Alpha adrenergic antagonists • Beta blockers • Inhalational anesthetics • Regional anesthesia • TRIM ( transfusion related immunomodulation) • Hypothermia • Sepsis • Statins • Etomidate
Are GA’s always bad for Ca recurrance? The answer is : IT DEPENDENDS
Volatile Anesthetics Reduce Invasion of Colorectal Cancer cells thru down regulation of matrix metalloproteinase -9Muller Edenborn et al Anesthesiology 2012 117: 293-301 • Malignant tumors invade extracellular matrix • Surgical clamping triggers a reperfusion injury by upregulation of MMP9 (neutrophils,a rich source of MMP9, accumulate because of IL 8) • Complex in vitro study demonstrated volatile anesthetics reduce reperfusion injury – this is not new • But indices of colorectal matrix invasion were reduced
Conclusion Data suggests;the possibility that anesthetic conduct may contribute to the recurrence of cancer ( liberal opiod Rx or inadequate analgesia) Equally worrying is the possibility that anesthesia, or the stress response to surgery could activate dormant cancer cells in an individual undergoing non cancer surgery.
