Why Onco-Anesthesia Still Has Big Questions
Episode 544
Wednesday, 5 August, 2026
Adam Flowe, MSN, CRNA returns to Beyond the Mask for a follow-up conversation on onco-anesthesia, cancer research, and the rapidly changing tools that may shape the future of care. After stepping away from a longtime leadership role at Duke and moving into a smaller practice setting, Adam reflects on career change, identity, and the importance of staying open to growth. The conversation then turns to one of the biggest unresolved questions in anesthesia: does the anesthetic technique used during cancer surgery affect long-term cancer outcomes? Adam discusses why several major research studies were expected to provide clarity, how funding cuts have stalled key randomized controlled trials, and why providers are still left with more questions than answers. Here’s some of what you’ll hear in this episode: 🤖 AI Revolution: Transforming anesthesia and patient care 🧬 Cancer Research: Understanding the impact of funding cuts 📈 Emerging Trends: Why cancer rates are rising in younger adults 💉 Smarter Medicine: Personalizing anesthesia with artificial intelligence 📚 Lifelong Learning: Preparing for the future of healthcare Check out the first part of this Onco-Anesthesia conversation with Adam: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/the-connection-between-cancer-anesthesia-with-adam-flowe/5356/ Join Sharon at the Nurse Anesthesia Update in the Bahamas: https://www.nurseanesthetist.com/events/nurse+anesthesia+update+2026/ Visit us online: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/ The 1099 CRNA Institute: https://aana.com/1099 Want to get CE Credit for listening?
