Abstract
Surgical oncology patients are often high-risk patients that require c areful perioperative management for a successful outcome. Prophylactic antibiotics are needed to prevent infection in tissues compromised by disease, radiation, or chemotherapy. Pain control is needed to preven t the stress response to surgery from worsening the outcome and to aid in the maintenance of patient comfort.
