Marilena Marmiere, Carolina Faustini, Turi Stefano*

Recent improvements in the medical and surgical fields increased the number of patients eligible for major oncological surgery, especially the elderly and frail ones. Adequate analgesia plays a key role in the perioperative pathway, and even the most advanced loco-regional techniques need to be embedded in a well-established structural organization to be really effective. Starting from our clinical experience and literature reports, we analyze the role of modern multidisciplinary Acute Pain Services, from their first appearance to the possible future applications.
