Anesthetic management should be tailored to the individual type of cancer, depending on the severity of symptoms, stage of cancer, and associated systemic involvement.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the Pentax-AWS airway scope with the Macintosh laryngoscope for nasotracheal intubation: a randomized, prospective study.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Pentax-AWS Airway Scope (AWS) in comparison to the Macintosh laryngoscope during nasotracheal intubation. ⋯ The AWS offers better intubation conditions than the Macintosh laryngoscope during nasotracheal intubation. The AWS may be used to elevate the epiglottis both directly and indirectly for nasotracheal intubation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized controlled trial comparing Laryngeal Mask Airway removal during adequate anesthesia and after awakening in children aged 2 to 6 years.
To compare the frequency of airway complications during removal of the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) in 2 to 6 year old pediatric patients. ⋯ In 2 to 6 year old pediatric patients, an adequate anesthetic state is preferable to the awake state during LMA removal, producing fewer complications.
