Abstract

Perioperatory pain in oncological patients represents a witness of anesthetic-surgical aggression, frequently exacerbated by the complementary radio-chemotherapy and also a predictive factor for postoperatory evolution. The objectivation of perioperative pain by scales of clinical evaluation does not offer a certain and objective quantification; so, the dosing of some hormonal and acute phase inflammation mediators could realize a more realistic projection. Clinical and biological correlation can offer a support for an adequate and well-balanced treatment.
