The oncological disease engages the person in the complexity of her body, mind and relationship. From the diagnosis throughout the perioperative time, the surgical trauma and the psychological dynamics activate a neuroendocrinal response, with metabolic and immunological alterations that can affect the recovery of mental and somatic functions and, perhaps, the prognosis itself. The recent scientific literature is now presenting new knowledge and suggestions about the effects of the interaction between surgery and anaesthetic drugs on immunological functions and intracellular molecular pathways. From a PNEI point of view, it will be possible to design a perioperative program that includes the possibility of a preoperative prehabilitation, a more mindful choice of surgical and anaesthesiological techniques, a control of postoperative catabolism and a management of psychological stress by bodymind techniques. The international protocol ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) is presented as an example of how a PNEI view of perioperative medicine can be translated into clinical practice.
Keywords: Perioperative medicine, Anaesthesia, Prehabilitation, Immunonutrition, Meditation, ERAS.
