Core Tip	Gastrointestinal cancers pose a significant global health concern. Surgical resection under general anesthesia serves as the primary treatment for gastrointestinal cancers. The two main anesthesia techniques utilized in cancer surgery today are propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia and volatile agent-based inhaled anesthesia. The potential impacts of the selected anesthesia technique on cancer cells, their biological behavior, and the associated clinical outcomes are subjects of extensive experimental and clinical research. Due to the conflicting findings from these studies, it remains impossible to provide personalized anesthesia recommendations based on the type of cancer and the patient’s condition.
