"What is the relationship between INHALATION ANESTHESIA and CANCER? - NAVE Discussion

Hello NAVE Crew, how are you? Every now and then someone mentions that inhalation anesthesia predisposes to the development of cancer. Perhaps this (nonsense) idea has been spread because there is a history that inhalation anesthetics are related to chronic diseases, teratogenicity, and mutagenicity.

There are several studies showing that professionals working in the surgical team have a high degree of irritability, headache, and miscarriage when compared to those who do not work in the operating room. Could this be related to pollution in the surgical room with inhalation anesthetics? Maybe, but there is still no proof, because there are several other situations that differentiate the surgical medical team from a non-surgical one, such as the stress of working in a surgical environment and the hours spent in these conditions.

Inhalation anesthesia apparently is related to decreased immunity, which can favor metastatic conditions, for example. Now, correlating this with cancer goes far beyond what the information gives us. For example, a comprehensive study that assessed the risk of metastasis or worsening survival rates in women with breast cancer found no difference between the group subjected to inhalation anesthesia (2,246 patients) and the group subjected to intravenous anesthesia (3,085 patients) (Yoo et al. 2019).

We also suggest that you read the position of the Brazilian College of Veterinary Anesthesiology (CBAV) regarding the relationship between cancer and anesthesia. There they describe, based on several scientific articles, that 'the choice between intravenous or inhalation anesthesia cannot be guided by the risk of tumor recurrence.'
