With the acceleration of population aging in China, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise. These patients not only face threats from the tumor itself but also often suffer from multiple chronic diseases and geriatric syndromes, which increase the complexity of perioperative management and surgical risks. To provide standardized perioperative management strategies for elderly lung cancer patients, the guideline aims to reduce postoperative complications and improve patients' quality of life through comprehensive geriatric assessment, comorbidity management, and early identification and intervention of complications. The guideline working group has drafted the "Protocol for Guidelines on the Comprehensive Perioperative Management of Elderly Patients with Lung Cancer (2025)", detailing the development process of the guidelines.
Day surgery has been applied in practice since more than 30 years ago in western world, which could obviously reduce the length of hospital stay, accelerate the recovery of patients, and achieve desirable economic and social benefits. Despite of the common development of day surgery in various diseases, the application of day surgery in breast general anesthesia surgery is limited. No related management standard has been established. By summarizing the experience of breast cancer day-surgery, Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University has established a comprehensive management standard, including preoperation, intraoperation, and postoperation management. Meanwhile, the nursing, resource allocation, follow-up, and stuff management are all enrolled into the management standard, aiming to improve the development of day surgery in general anesthesia breast cancer operation.
